Raise3D Filament Runout Sensor Housing

Raise3D recently introduced a filament runout sensor specifically designed for their N series printers. Shortly after, they shared an updated design for the housing, aimed at reducing stress on the filament. I decided to modify this new design slightly. Initially, the bottom connecting parts that attached to the print head were retained. However, in my opinion, these components should be secured within the filament bay rather than directly to the print head. Consequently, the area where the filament enters is now a flat surface. To ensure stability, it's crucial that the sensor is securely fastened to either the printer or the filament bay wall. I encountered an issue when using double-sided tape as initially recommended by Raise3D; the adhesive eventually failed, causing the teflon tube to be pushed back and locking into place via the teflon connector. The resulting noise from the gantry and motors during homing was quite alarming. To address this problem, I applied epoxy glue instead of relying on the double-sided tape. A photograph showing my current setup is available above. Interestingly, upon closer inspection, I discovered that Raise3D had embedded their logo and indicator lights beneath the original double-sided tape placement. http://www.3dwp.nl
