Combined a fixed filament filter and a guide to avoid the annoying noise the clip-on filament filters do when hitting the extruder after retractions, and added a mount to install a Trianglelab filament runout sensor. All in the most compact and reliable I could find using my own side spool holder design.
This filter fits in the Z Axis Rod brass insert OEM screws.
I initially designed this for an Ender 3 V2, but most Creality printers seem to share the same extruder mount and Z rod design. Looks to be fully compatible with all the Ender 3, Ender 5 and CR-10 family of printers.
One additional M3x16 or M3x20 bolt is needed for the filter hinge.
With the 20mm bolt you can use a hex nut, but due to the tight fit, it is not completely necessary. Therefore an M3x16 with no nut is perfectly fine and looks cleaner. The Trianglelab sensor already comes with the necessary M3 bolts and nuts.

Only 1 cap/cover design is needed. I am using the Lightweight version but I also included a fully closed version.
Installation:
Notes:
These parts are tiny. Specially the T-Slots.
I recommend a thin layer height ~0.12 and very slow speeds. I believe I printed this at 15mm/s but it all depends on your own printer's performance.
I used supports for:
But as said, it all depends on your printer. If you have decent overhang performance you might even be able to skip the supports inside the hinges for example.
Printing positions:
Tolerances are tight, make sure your extruder is properly calibrated before attempting to print
