p802 Filament Sensor Mount (A8)

thingiverse

I designed a device to mount a filament sensor directly in line with the extruder hole. This setup works exceptionally well with top-fed filament, as demonstrated in the accompanying photo. I made sure to provide enough space for feeding the filament into the extruder while still exposing sufficient area for it to be pulled out when the sensor is triggered. It's essential to cut a 45-degree angle and rotate the filament during insertion to ensure proper alignment. This solution may also work for the A8, but I have not tested it personally.
