Remix of AnotherBrains (https://www.printables.com/@AnotherBrain_1824109) Filament Sensor Mount for Prusa Mini Enclosure

This should solve the issue, that the filament sensor get stuck in the master spool.

Also the Filament changing doesn't get more complicated.

This remix is necessary for me, because I have the door hinge mounted on the right side.

 

You need:

  • PTFETubeMountingBreaket
  • Original PTFE tube of the Prusa Mini
  • 2x M3x12mm screws

Installation guide:

  1. Remove the short PTFE tube from the filament sensor
  2. Insert the original PTFE tube in the filament sensor
  3. remove the M3x8 bolts
  4. secure the breaket with the M3x12 blolts in the down right corner of the enclosure

How to use:

  1. load the filament like normal
  2. align the PTFE tube with the mounting breaket
  3. slide the PTFE tube up into the mounting breaket
  4. print with confidence again :)
