CR10S Titan Aero mount with BLTouch and Volcano hot end with filament sensor

cults3d

I have recently converted my Creality CR10S to a Titan Aero direct drive extruder with a Volcano hot end and prior to the conversion I was using a BLTouch bed leveling sensor. There are several mounts here on Thingiverse but nothing that really fit the bill in terms of using the BLTouch with a Volcano hot end. I cobbled together a mount and used it for about 10 days and it worked, but the problem was the filament runout sensor. It really needed to be mounted close to the extruder to really be effective. This is the design I finally came up with that works quite well. The inital version is for 3.00 millimeter filament, but I will be adding a version for 1.75 as well. UPDATE: I have added a part cooling fan duct for use with the BLTouch (Semi-circle) or without the BLTouch (full circle) UPDATE: 1.75 mm filament file is now available UPDATE: I have extended the distance between the extruder and the filament runout sensor. UPDATE: I have created another version that uses third-party filament runout sensor switches that can be purchased via Amazon or AliExpress UPDATE: I have added another mount that supports the modified Creality filament runout sensor (3 mm) that has a roller switch instead of the normal lever microswitch. I found the switches on eBay that are the same switch as Creality uses, except with a roller. eBay Item Number: 5-x-Mini-Micro-Limit-Switch-Roller-Lever-Arm-Microswitch-SPDT-Sub-Miniature-Kit 153757769751 Please consider providing a Tip for the Designer as I am on a very limited Social Security income. I do these designs because I have fun doing them and I could use a little money to buy filament to do my test prints. You may also send an Amazon Gift Card to benebrady@gmail.com
