Centauri Carbon Filament Sensor Housing PC4-01

Description

Centauri Carbon filament sensor housing with in and out connections for PC4-01 fittings.

My son has a CC and wants to switch his set up to allow multiple spools to attach to the filament sensor for easier swapping of filaments.  We have it set up on an Ikea Lack table and mounted the spools underneath 6 wide, feeding through a collector.  In order to make the connection simpler he wanted to hook up a bowden tube but the stock housing only has a connection on the output.  I only had PC4-01 connectors laying around so we designed this to replace the housing with the stock internals.

It can be printed without supports with very minimal post processing at lower layer heights.  You can get better results with supports and support filament but the print takes 4 times as long and uses 3 times the filament.  There is a filament flow arrow that can be colored or left single color.  

Post processing notes, if the filament path is a little tight, I recommend putting some abrasive filament back and through it quickly like sandpaper, I did not have to run a drill through after that and I know the longer he uses it the smoother the flow path will be.  

I am also not sure how universal elegoo's filament sensors are but this may work for some of their other machines as well.

The inside of the sensor has 4 parts, PCB board with connector, (located with 2 small pins), grooved guide bearing, small pivoting bearing, and pivot bearing spring.  All are very easy to remove and swap right over to new housing, backplate and CC mount are reused.

Goodluck and happy printing.
