UFS-022 Creality Filament Runout Sensor CR-10S & Dual Gear

I was inspired by several innovative designs. One notable design caught my attention at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2822322. The original filament runout sensor mount was functional but presented mounting difficulties. I wanted a design that would incorporate a bar to encircle and secure the sensor in place without requiring any screws, making it much easier to remove when issues arise. I initially created a version for use with the original extruder, but after switching to a dual gear extruder, I needed to redesign the height to accommodate the new setup. Here's a picture of the dual gear extruder I purchased: https://www.banggood.com/Upgraded-Aluminum-Dual-Gear-Pulley-Dual-Drive-Extruder-Kit-For-Creality-CR-10-CR-10S-CR-10S-Pro-Ender-3-Ender-3-Pro-3D-Printer-p-1469345.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN. The new extruder was easy to install and works flawlessly, but I had to adjust the Marlin software for optimal performance. Uploading the latest Marlin software proved to be a more significant upgrade than the new extruder itself. The stock runout sensor is screwed into place, with holes that are slightly undersized and require tapping as you turn the screws into them. To avoid stripping out the threads, do not over tighten the screws. This design is still a work in progress, but I find myself more drawn to working on other exciting projects rather than refining this one further.
