Raise3D Filament Runout Sensor Housing

thingiverse

Raise3D unveiled a cutting-edge filament runout sensor specifically designed for their N series printers. Following its release, they shared an innovative redesign of the housing, which significantly reduces stress on the filament. I made some tweaks to this new design. The connecting parts at the bottom of the print head were eliminated since they should be placed in the filament bay instead. This modification also resulted in a flat surface where the filament enters. To ensure a secure attachment, it is crucial to properly attach the sensor to the printer or filament bay wall. In my experience, Raise3D's use of double-sided tape can sometimes cause issues. When the print head pushes back against the teflon tube, the connector locks in place, and the gantry and motors produce loud noises during homing. To rectify this problem, I resorted to using epoxy glue. A photograph showcasing my current setup is available above. To my surprise, the Raise3D logo and indicator lights were discreetly positioned under the double-sided tape. http://www.3dwp.nl
