This is a riser to move the filament run out sensor higher (5cm) so that a filament drier can more easily sit under the sensor while mitigating any need for drilling out the covers, splicing wire, or taking apart the printer. It is a drop in place solution which also reduces the amount of bowden tube needed. Less tube = less friction in the system = better prints. There should be enough slack in the sensor wire to mount this bracket if not you can pull some of the wire out. If the holes in the riser are under size you may have to chase them with a drill/ drill bit.

Designed so original mounting hardware for the sensor can be reused in the addition of 2X M3x0.5x25 screws.

INSTRUCTIONS:

- unscrew filament run out sensor and bowden tube bracket.

- use screws that were attached to the sensor to attach the riser bracket to the printer back plate using the same hole positions. These are the holes that are chamfered.

- attach bowden tube bracket to riser using the same screws.

- mount filament run out sensor to riser using 2X M3x0.5x25 screws.

- These holes are there as optional for the bowden tube bracket if your goal is to move the sensor further out from the machine

PRINT SETTING SUGGESTIONS:

I used PLA-CF since it was laying around but any material will work for this application. I recommend minimum 6 walls since pieces will be mounted to the riser and cutting fresh threads. If your printer is not calibrated you may have to
