Filament Sensor Vertical Guide for Creality CR-10

thingiverse

I needed a new filament sensor support. I did not like the one in my CR-10S printer, too weak and the extruder, pulling the filament, often folded it. That's why after having designed three with Autodesk Fusion 360 I got to this new version, the number 4. I hope you like it. I made it in PET-G but you can very well build it in PLA. If you can use a slicer that allows you to put the supports only for the part of the sensor so that it is as accurate as possible. I used Simplify3D. The supports are not required for the sensor cover. I made the two holes for fixing it to the frame of the printer slightly shorter so as to be able to put a rubber seal with a thickness of about half a millimeter to make sure that everything is tight without having gaps or vibrations. A small rubber band is enough. I used two rings made by cutting a piece of colored strip. **Note:** Added .STL file of the support without logo. If you like it and build it, thank you for your photos and your comments.
