This mount will let you reposition your Filament sensor and guide to the right side of your K1 printer. Good for anyone who wants to run their filament spool to the bottom right of their K1 printer.

Suggestion:

Print Material: PLA

Infill: 20-30% is sufficient

Walls: 4

Top/Bottom: 4

Print Orientation: See image

You will need:

- 2 x M3 x 12mm round head bolts & Nuts

- 2 x M3 x 12mm rount head bolts

- 2 x Cable ties

Installation:

- Retract the filament (the usual process and let your nozzle cool to avoid burns)

- Turn off your printer and unplug it from the electrical source.

- Unplug the filament sensor

- Gently place your printer on its left side

- Unscrew the printer feet and 2 screws holding the bottom panel

- Remove the 2 screws rear top of the right side panel that holds the panel to the frame. (We will reuse these screws later)

- You may need to cut the cable tie that is holding the wiring together (make sure you dont cut any wires

- Trace the filament sensor wire to the motherboard (you may need to remove the wire cover inside at the back of your printer) and pull up as much as is needed to relocate your sensor to the side from the available cable length (it's long enough to reach the side)

- Use a cable tie to secure all loose cables again and screw up the bottom feet and panel screws

- Unscrew and remove the filament guide & sensor

- Using M3 bolt & nut attach the filament guide on the relocation mount

- Using the original sensor screws, attach the filament sensor to the relocation mount

- Attach the mount to the frame using M3 bolts (make sure they are not longer than 12mm in total or it will touch the cable inside)

- Plug in the sensor cable.

That's it. You may need to cut a hole in the cover or use a riser with a hole to the side to allow the PTFE tube and filament to pass through and into the sensor. We have a riser that works with this.

If you want to purchase this for commercial purposes (resale or use as part of your product sale) feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you for your support.
