Orbiter 2.0 Prusa IR Filament Sensor Addon

This is a quick remix of my previous Prusa IR Sensor mod for the official Orbiter v2.0. I used one of the upper mounting holes in the Bear X-Carriage to mount the Prusa IR filament sensor from the MK3S. I have been using this filament sensor and it works well even with flexible filaments.

It weighs less than 5g assembled and requires no custom parts other than half of a pen spring for the sensor arm. You will need the original M2 screw to secure the case together, and a 12mm M3 screw and square nut to mount to the Bear X-Carriage.

This was specifically designed using the Bear X-Carriage and has not been tested with any other version.
