I designed this mounting bracket to hold a Triangle Labs filament runout sensor on the top extrusion of an Ender 3.
I previously had a BTT smart filament sensor on this printer but decided to move it to my Voron V2 and replace it with a simple sensor from Triangle Labs. The spool mounting hasn't changed from my previous sensor so you can look there for the spool mounting bracket.
Hardware Required
- M3 x 12mm bolt (top of filament sensor)
- M3 x 20mm bolt (bottom of filament sensor)
- 2x M3 washers (bolts through filament sensor)
- M3 x 10mm bolt (top of bracket)
- 2x M3 hammerhead nuts (top of bracket and bottom of sensor)
- M3 x 4mm x5mm heatset insert (top of filament sensor)
Alternate version uses an M3 nut and a longer bolt (16-20mm) on the top in place of the heatset insert.
Printing Instructions
Print part flat on bed, no supports needed.
3 walls 20% infill should be fine.
Installation
- Inset the heatset insert with a soldering iron
- Attach the filament sensor to the bracket
- Place the hammerhead nut on the rear bolt and slide onto top extrusion
- Slide a hammerhead nut under the bracket and insert top bracket bolt
- Tighten the bolts into hammerhead nuts
- Wire up the runout sensor and configure in marlin/klipper following documentation for the sensor/mainboard/firmware
