Finally got tired of dangling sensor on top of my printer and decided to fix that. Along with the issue of cracking filament when printer is not used.
This mount places the sensor closer to the printing head and IDEALLY aligns the filament line from the fitting through sensor and into the printing head. It also enables use of filament PTFE guide that goes directly to the spool or filament dryer.
Additional weight mounted on the printing head may cause issues on 300+ printing speeds on Ender3 but you probably should not use those anyway. My test on speeds between 100-200 show there is no change to quality.
Note: you need to unscrew the metal plate from the sensor as you won't be able to attach it to the printed mount with it. You need those bolt holes anyway :)
Model printing recommendations:
print placed horizontally on back with supports (see screenshot)
supports for nut place are not needed
0.12 mm layer height looks good
ironing is optional, but good
What you will need:
2x M3 heat inserts to put into printed part for mounting
10mm M3 bolts for screwing the sensor to the mount
(optional) Creality Offical PC4-M6 and PC4-M10 Pneumatic Fitting for Ender 3 (for tube)
(optional) PTFE tube for filament guide
(optional) M6 nut for fixing the fitting
