Inserting TPU the easy way. Sidesensor and extruder sensor
hi, i have to share my positive experiences with the two mods proposed here on the forum.
i got the new prusa TPU and it is a hazzle to get into the nextruder.
So first i thought about how to make se side sensor "lighter". After a couple of tries with a mockup i found a very easy solution.
Iprinted a lever with a slightly bigger cutout , were you can place some (non magnetic!) weight. I used some pieces of lead. The mod takes only a few minutes and works like a charm.

Second i found this mod. https://www.printables.com/model/1263406-nextruder-filament-sensor-magnet-mod
but with two additional magnetsthe tension wasstill too strong in my opinion . So i used only one and put a piece of 2mm long plastic at the end to get the right tension.
with these 2 mods i am able to push the cpu all the way trough.
