Anycubic Predator - Internal Filament Sensor Mount
Description
Hello! This is a project that I've made at the start of this year but I had no time to pubblish before. With this simple modification You can move the Predator filament sensor from Outside to Inside. This is advantageous, because with the original position of the sensor sometimes, after homing, when the head drops to start printing, the filament twists to the sensor and it happens that it gets tangled up hindering the movement of the head. In addition, the printer is exciting as it is cleaner. It is not necessary to add mechanical parts or screws, all the original material is 100% reused. First of all, it is necessary to print the two pieces I have designed that will be mounted after moving the filament. To move the filament you need to perform these simple operations: 1) Disconnect the connector that connects the sensor to the printer 2) Unscrew the two screws that hold the sensor to the bottom of the printer TOP. 3) Unscrew the 2 screws that fix the sensor to the metal support. 4) At this point, reassemble the sensor on the metal support, using the same screws, rotating it before 180 °. (in practice it should be mounted upside down) 5) Loosen the 6 screws that hold the top cover of the printer. 6) Remove the cover. 7) Unscrew the press-and-fit that holds the bowden tube and remove it together with the bowden tube. 8) Insert the "low" support just printed in the hole that previously housed the press-and-fit (see photo). 9) Mount the metal support (together with the previously removed sesor) on the inside of the printer using the same screws. Obviously this time the screws will have to be screwed from the inside. The support must be mounted so that the sensor is facing the front of the printer (display side). See photo. 10) remove the sensor wire from the black plastic tube and bring it inside using the same hole where the tube passes. 11) Reconnect the sensor wire connector to the sensor. 12) Replace the printer cover and tighten the screws. 13) Insert the "high" printed part (the largest one) in the central hole of the cover, orienting it so that it fits perfectly over the sensor. Possibly among the photos there is one that shows the two printed parts assembled to the sensor without the cover. (Just to show you how to assemble them). WARNING: BEFORE TO REMOVE THE TOP COVER DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY FROM THE OUTLET- DANGER !!! AS USUALLY, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO PERSONS;ANIMALS OR THINGS. MAKE THIS MODIFICATION AT YOUR OWN RISK. Enjoy
