▉Sensor Schematics:

Next picture shows the schematics of the filament sensor.

Print the sensor housing out of ABS, ASA or some other filament with similar temperature deflection property.

The light guide shall be printed out of a transparent filament like HDGlass.

The sensor housing shall be printed with support, light guide does not require any support. Suggested layer height is 0.2mm.

You need to change the stock M3 screws of the Orbiter to button head M3 L=20mm (low profile screw head, max 2mm space on the Orbiter v1.5. The original M3 with 15mm length and socket head will not fit anymore). On v1.5 It's a bit tricky to drive in the screw near the latch in, but it’s not impossible (use a big Thor hammer and some brute force :) ).

▉Assembly steps:

1. Push the 6mm ball inside the housing,

2. Slide the electronics inside the housing;

3. Assemble the sensor on top of the Extruder.
