These are currently untested. If you print a sample and any of the dimensions are off, please let me know!
Remix of the DDR channel sensor mod for the AliExpress version of the sensor sold here.
I wasn't Happy with the sensor channels sold by 3rd Mix parties, so I decided to make my own!
What makes this design Brilliant 2U?
Raised arrow panel replaces the need for the metal 'L' bracket
Pressure bar is ribbed for increase sensitivity (wink)
Reduced sensor wear
Top pressure bar is centered over the sensor in a way that guarantees a hit even on my 20 year old sensors!
Steps to Do It Right!
Get Up'N Move the old sensor channel from the metal frame. Spray some WD-40 on the old black tape to make it easier to remove with a razer blade. Make sure to use mineral spirits to remove any remaining WD-40/tape residue.
Use 0.75 - 1inch double sided carpet tape to attach the new brackets. My local hardware store only had 1.75inch tape, but it was pretty easy to cut with a razer blade.
Optional: Add some craft store felt to the top of the bracket to reduce the wear on the arrow decal
Make it Better
The bottom sensor can be printed out of any hard material, but I strongly recommend printing the top out of something flexible like TPU.
