Stand alone Prusa filament sensor using stock optical hardware

thingiverse

I'm thrilled with the design of the optical filament sensor on the Prusa but wanted to go in a different direction. I didn't want to use the Prusa extruder design, so this unique creation was born. To bring it to life, you'll need to gather a few essential components: 1. A Prusa optical filament sensor, complete with both magnets, a ball bearing, and a sensor. 2. Four M3 heat inserts that will help things click into place. 3. Four M3 screws for securing everything tightly in its new home. 4. Two Bowden couplings to ensure smooth connections throughout the process.
