Sprite Ribbon Cable Support and Filament Runout Sensor Mount
prusaprinters
<p>After upgrading my Ender 3 Pro to the Sprite Pro hotend/extruder combo, I wanted to find a better way to support the cable and keep it out of the way. All the solutions I found out there had the ribbon getting mounted to the original extruder location, which put a lot of twist stress on the ribbon cable right above the connector, and that didn't seem viable as a long term solution to me. I also needed a place to relocate my Filament Runout Sensor. So I threw this design together, and after a few iterations, it is to the point that I am happy enough with it to share.<br><br>Additional hardware needed:<br> - 4x M3 nuts for the Filament Runout Sensor to attach to the mount<br> - 2x M3 8mm screws to replace two of the existing 6mm screws that hold the Y motor in place, to account for the additional thickness of the rear support bracket.<br><br>All models are designed to print in their current orientation without the need of supports, though some bridging will be required. I highly suggest using PETG, as PLA tends to be too brittle for the filament runout sensor's clip to work without snapping.<br><br>Additional cable clips (for the Filament Runout Sensor cable) pictured are from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5476408">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5476408</a></p><p>Additional Celtic knot design pictured is part of my Ender Dragon Cosplay Cable Chain <a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/ender-3-pro-ender-dragon-cable-chain-and-celtic-braid-decorations">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/ender-3-pro-ender-dragon-cable-chain-and-celtic-braid-decorations</a> <br> </p>
