Update 28 Dec 2019: Simplified installation process Update 20 Aug 2019: Included source Fusion 360 file for easy modification The Anycubic Predator's filament run-out sensor is currently located under the electronics, which causes a problem when trying to feed the filament into the printer. This printable part resolves this issue by creating a dedicated guide for the filament. To install this part, follow these simple steps: 1. Print PredatorFilamentGuide.stl using PLA or any other suitable material. 2. Unplug your printer from the power source. 3. Remove the acrylic top cover by unscrewing the 6 screws around its edges. 4. Disconnect the short length of bowden tube but leave the fitting intact. 5. Carefully remove the existing filament sensor, taking care not to damage the connector. 6. Flip the sensor upside down and reattach it with the provided screws from the top side. 7. Gently lift the filament sensor cable out of the bundle and retract it into the electronics enclosure. 8. Reconnect the sensor's connector. 9. Reinstall the acrylic cover. 10. Cut a 34mm section from the bowden tube. 11. Insert the cut tube into the printed guide, ensuring it is flush with the top surface. 12. Place the printed guide into the center hole of the acrylic, making sure the open side faces towards the right side of the printer. **Please note:** You are responsible for any damage caused to your printer during this modification process.
