My spools are very close to the side of the printer, therefore the holder for the filament sensor had to swivel.

I wanted a holder for the filament sensor. My spools are very close to the side of the printer, therefore the holder had to swivel up and down.
I found an igus-bushing that does the swiveling, although this is most probably overkill. A simple 3D-printed-joint should be fine.
The filament tube into the extruder had to be shortened, that way I also save a bit of space widthwise.
For the holder of the filament sensor I just used the holder of rockytoptim with two screw holes, see remix for files.
The installation is a bit tricky, as you have to partially disassemble the extruder, but it is worth it.
The swiveling works well, and the filament can now also be loaded easily with just one hand.
