These files are for what is needed to install the BTT Smart Filament Sensor V2.0 on your Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus & Max.
There are 4 STL files: Tool head ptfe fitting adapter, top bowden tube guide (left & right), tube fitting. The top guide is optional. If you want to keep the existing spool holder at the top you can. I will have to apologize. The toolhead adapter is not my design and I can't find where I got it from to give credit here.
In addition there is a config file that will need to be loaded for your printer as well as a pdf file with instructions on installation and changes that will be needed in your printer.cfg file. You will have to change the name of the BTT config file to take the .txt off. Unfortunately printables will not accept the file unless you do that.
The sensor can be purchased from BigTreeTech.
In addition to the sensor, you may also choose to use a piece of stainless tubing between the toolhead and the sensor instead of the printed piece.
You will need to extend the cable. I did this by cutting the provided ribbon cable and splicing it to avoid having to crimp on new fittings.
This installation does require configuration changes and opening the bottom to access the control board. If you are not comfortable with that, this may not be a project for you.
Depending on your printer tolerances you may need to drill out the tube with a 2mm drill bit. It is a very small piece and a lot of fdm printers can't handle that size with a lot of precision.
