I removed the long PTFE tube on my SOVOL SV08, so that I could have a short PTFE on the toolhead to make loading filament easier (I had issues with loading out of the box.

This bracket allows you to cut the PTFE tube a couple inches above the toolhead / extruder, and then cut it at the top of the frame so that only a few inches stick out.

Then you can mount the anti-tangle sensor just outside the frame, and a 45mm PTFE tube out of the back of that and into the stock filament sensor.  The slot in the bracket allows the filament sensor to slide in and out so if there's a tangle, it will register and pause the printer.

This eliminates the need to have the long PTFE with the “insert” in the middle removed where SOVOL suggests that you place the filament sensor, if you wish to cut the PTFE tube.

This is specifically for the SOVOL Filament Anti-tangle module pictured here:
