Vibration sensor magnetic case & X bracket - Ender 3v3 KE

This is an alternative case for Creality's g-sensor for Ender 3v3 KE (and some other Creality printers), photo of the sensor in original case attached for reference. Original case opens easily, it's just press fit.

Uses eight ⌀6×3mm neodymium mangets. Pay attention to magnet orientation so that the case snaps cleanly to the X bracket. For Y axis, you just stick the sensor to magnetic bed. You might want to put something on the bottom of sensor case to increase friction - in my case, copy paper with two-sided tape worked out the best (I painted it black with a marker because it's prettier this way).

In case anyone wonders, Klipper input shaper tuning routines don't care which way the sensor is oriented, as longs as the axes are aligned. Putting the X mount in vertical position snug with the print head is much neater than a shelf protruding out of the side, particularly if you prefer to keep it there instead of mounting and dismounting every time (not to mention, it was bumping my Z axis camera mount...)

Update: I realized that X bracket covers one of the shroud screws, I moved it a bit lower to make it possible to take off the shroud without removing the bracket.
