V3 adds Stock spool mounting options so the cable doesn't get caught on spool like on stock cable holder causing levelling errors and damage 

I have added a new version so that you don't need as long screws to make it work you can probably get away with stock length!

 

The stock cable holden on the right of the machine bend the cable for the print head at a angle where damaged will occur over time this is also seen when the print head is at its lowest point where the cable bend more, this file once attached fixes the issue and makes the cable less strained in general.

Can be printed in PLA or anything (PLA or PETG is recommended as there is little to no heat near the part) PLA+ or pro is also a good choice 

Print with Around 20%-50% 3d honey comb infill 3 walls, 3 bottom layers or more and 4 top layers or more

no need for supports just print the file with the flat part at the bottom

parts need: zip tires x2 Smallest size 

Longer screws around 20cm-25cm long

Optionally if you have screws that aren't long enough you can drill the holes out to around half way and counter sink screws or hot glue or super glue to the runout sensor although it is not advised to do so.

Installing: take out both of the screws on the filament sensor and place the printed part on top place the screws back in and tighten back up place the cable into the printed part and usually the sleeve around the cable should be able to alight with the bottom of the printed part and have full movement as seen in photos

Note that you may need to rewrap the sleeve that goes around the cable to align with the part and have free movement of the x and z axis with pulling on the cable
