Tiny IR Filament Sensor

pinshape

Hello !\nThis is my first version of the filament sensor, and I'm using those affordable infrared sensors from eBay.\nThe housing is simply a casing that goes around the sensor, allowing you to pass the filament through it. You can also add a section of PTFE inside for better results.\nThe PTFE tube may need to be trimmed to fit inside the sensor so that only 1.75mm of it remains visible between the IR sensors.\nI printed this with a .25mm nozzle, but you might be able to print it with a 0.4 if you want to try.\nTo assemble this, you'll need:\n2x M3 x 10mm screws\n2x M3 nuts
