This is a modified version of the official XL Filament Sensor blocks that were reworked to accept a PC4-M10 fitting. I have also provided a 2x filament sensor block.

I made this mod because I was tired of the PTFE tubes popping out the back of the official sensor blocks.

I used these PC4-M10 fittings off Amazon, chosen because of their thread depth, beveled edges, and collet thickness. You can fit the whole fitting inside a 10mm socket.

I used this 10mm socket to install the fittings. It has just the right amount of thickness to allow it to tighten an inner fitting.

I finished off the design with some collet clips to make sure the PTFE tubes would stay in place.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I reshaped the fitting holes to allow for PC4-M10 fittings. I also combined 2 filament sensors into one block.
