Palette 2 Teflon Tube Clip for Creality Ender 5 Plus (+ other Ender models) with all-metal extruder

thingiverse

This is my custom Palette 2 teflon tube clip for my Ender 5 Plus, which has an upgraded all-aluminium MK8 extruder from Aliexpress (link below), which has a higher profile than the standard plastic extruder that comes with the Ender 5 Plus. Other Ender 5 printers have similar extruder configurations and this will probably work with those as well (i.e. Ender 5, Ender 5 Pro, etc.) provided that you a similar higher-profile extruder than the standard one that comes with the Ender 5 Plus. For reference, the filament hole in this extruder is around 18mm from the bracket. I have two versions of the clip here, one replaces the filament run-out sensor, and the other includes a shim for the run-out sensor that allows you to use the run-out sensor as well (elevated to the correct height for the upgraded extruder), and puts the teflon tube clip in front of the sensor. However, if you are using a Palette 2 and a Canvas Hub, then the run-out sensor is useless anyway - since the Palette 2 has its own run-out sensing, and the sensor doesn't work with print jobs sent from Octoprint / Canvas Hub anyway, unless you rewire the sensor into the Raspberry Pi. So while I originally designed the version that leaves the filament run-out sensor in place, I decided that the run-out sensor was more trouble than it was worth, jamming all the time and not doing anything anyway - so I created the second version that replaces the run-out sensor completely, and gives me a simpler filament feeding path that won't jam all the time as I'm trying to load it. Edit: There is also an additional filament guide which I added to use when I'm not using my Palette 2. This provides a straight filament path for bare filament, so as not to damage the rubber grommet for the Palette 2 that's in the main clip, and screws into the lower mounting holes from the filament run-out sensor.
