Palette 2 Teflon Tube Clip for Creality Ender 5 Plus (+ other Ender models) with all-metal extruder

thingiverse

This is my custom Palette 2 teflon tube clip designed for my Ender 5 Plus, which boasts an upgraded all-aluminum MK8 extruder sourced from Aliexpress (link below), featuring a higher profile than the standard plastic extruder that comes with the Ender 5 Plus. Other Ender 5 printers have similar extruder configurations and this clip will likely work on those models as well, provided you use a similar higher-profile extruder than the standard one that comes with the Ender 5 Plus. For reference, the filament hole in this extruder is approximately 18mm from the bracket. I've created two versions of the clip: one replaces the filament run-out sensor and the other includes a shim for the run-out sensor, allowing you to use it as well while elevating the teflon tube clip to the correct height for the upgraded extruder. However, if you're using a Palette 2 and a Canvas Hub, the run-out sensor becomes unnecessary - since the Palette 2 has its own run-out sensing capabilities, and the sensor won't work with print jobs sent from Octoprint / Canvas Hub unless you rewire it into the Raspberry Pi. I initially designed the version that leaves the filament run-out sensor in place but ultimately decided it was more trouble than it was worth due to frequent jamming issues. Therefore, I created the second version which completely replaces the run-out sensor and offers a simpler filament feeding path that won't jam as often when loading filament. Edit: There's also an additional filament guide that I added for use when not printing with my Palette 2. This provides a straight filament path for bare filament, preventing damage to the rubber grommet on the main clip, and screws into the lower mounting holes from the filament run-out sensor.
