Bigtreetech filament sensor adapter to 6 mm for metal extruder
Description
This way I mounted a Bigtreetech filament sensor on a metal extruder. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000269547406.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.34f06af9K2uIKw&algo_pvid=2f264187-7fc3-4f2a-b1ee-54ec271b13f5&algo_expid=2f264187-7fc3-4f2a-b1ee-54ec271b13f5-0&btsid=e4667159-c59d-49da-babf-f8a2ecfb5dce&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_7,searchweb201603_53 With the parts added in the box, I had to go to a teflon tube, and again with a coupler to the metal extruder . I prefer not to use this parts and made this adapter because it will be stronger. The thread into the sensor seems to be a strange one, 10 mm is too big, and the pitch is different. I was told it is bsp thread. I printed in PETG because it will be stronger as pla. The part is made by me in Fusion 360. I had to scale my model a bit, could be crimp of the petg too, this is the right dimension what will fitt into the filament sensor. For the 6 mm thread, you have to clean it with a 6 mm tap. I used a 6 mm metal throat from an A6 extruder unit. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32813700379.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7ff33f7bVj2nfH&algo_pvid=0a75d235-04fb-468c-af02-d63bc4416b51&algo_expid=0a75d235-04fb-468c-af02-d63bc4416b51-25&btsid=b4dd9171-fed9-4f9f-a5ba-7d1a0547e0cf&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_7,searchweb201603_53 This will be much stronger as printing the 6 mm threaded piece.
