Filament Sensor issues?

I just completed my build, but my IR sensor permanently reads 1,

I found this: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/8624-mk3s-ir-sensor-spacer-05-mm/related

and while it seems to provide sufficient space now, it seems the little arm might be too loose, so it doesn’t activate the sensor consistently. Is there any way to open up the extruder and tighten that and/or clean up the area so the arm is not catching on anything without unmounting the extruder and disassembling the entire thing?

It took me hours the first time around...

If that’s the only option I might just live without the sensor...

RE: Filament Sensor issues?

Hi,

The complete procedure is here.

Same problem for me after I've finished the build. I've followed it and now everything is OK. A few things to unscrew, not really difficult.

Good luck !
