==== Reassembly – step by step (important bit) ==== ===== 1️⃣ Start with the bottom housing ===== Use the half that has the microswitch inside. Lay it flat with: * Microswitch at the top * Filament path running front to back ===== 2️⃣ Fit the two black round rollers ===== * They sit in the circular recesses in the housing. * Their split side faces up. * They should rotate freely. These form the filament guide and the moving contact. ===== 3️⃣ Install the spring ===== * The point of the V faces downwards into the housing. * The two legs sit against the plastic posts near the filament path. * This spring provides pressure against the rollers. ⚠️ This is the part that usually jumps out. ===== 4️⃣ Add the metal retaining clip ===== * This clips over the spring. * The hole in the clip aligns with the small plastic post. * Its job is to stop the spring popping out while still allowing movement. If this isn’t seated properly, the sensor won’t work reliably. ===== 5️⃣ Check movement (before closing) ===== Use a bit of filament or a small screwdriver: * Push through the filament path * You should feel spring resistance * You should hear/feel a tiny click from the microswitch If it doesn’t click → something is misaligned. ===== 6️⃣ Close the housing ===== * Place the top plastic half on carefully. * Make sure: - Spring hasn’t shifted - Rollers stay seated * Screw together gently (don’t overtighten – plastic threads).
