Hi!

 

I needed a simple filament sensor. I found one, but its filament path was in my case too restricted. 

EDIT: I added a file with “closer” in the name - first remix was a bit too loose and sensor sometimes was not triggered.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I moved the small module about 1,5mm so filament has more room to go smoothly. External dimensions of the part are the same.

Besides I moved the “hanger” to the top of the part. 


I am adding another part - the hanger - so it can be mounted on the Prusa i3 frame. 
Files are also attached. This part was done basing on another design:

That part requires supports

 

I printed my parts with PLA, 25%.

 

Files attached so anyone can remix or alter them further.
