Mount for filament sensor with Bowden tube compression fitting. I updated to a BondTech DD and removed the extruder and mount… this left the filament sensor no longer attached.  I found the original by Kaytor - but I didn't like the multiple parts or the melt in inserts. So I remixed it, added a little bit of QOL items:

  1. Revised holes to accept stock filament sensor screws - direct screw in, melt in no longer needed. 
  2. Chamfered the holes to help guide the screw into place.
  3. Opened up the frame screw mount holes a little to prevent snagging - but still a snug fit.
  4. Cut out the back holes - so the back is flush
  5. Joined both parts into one unit.
  6. Added some fillets to aid in fitting the filament sensor better.

Best to rotate the mount so it sits on the bottom edge where the filament enters the sensor - use slim tree supports. 35% infill/4 perimeters. No bed adhesion required.
