I recently got the Inverted IR Sensor with an blue LED. The LED is great for dialing the lever in but its pretty bright.
Since I sleep in the same room where my printer is and I don't want to sleep under broad daylight (Slightly exaggerated) I quickly searched up a model of a spacer fitting these kind of pins.
The parametric one from mofosyne worked great and I imported the generated stl in fusion360 and designed a case around it to block most of the light.
The walls are roughly two extrusions thick and you still should see the light shine through, especially if you print in a slightly translucent material
Even if its printed in completly light blocking material I left a small .1mm slit in on the side so the LED can still be used to dial it in and sleep in the same room.
