Description
A while back, one of my PrusaXL filament guides' coupler started popping off, and I saw someone posted a version that used PC4-M10 couplers (instead of the cheap metal Bowden collets). Around the same time, my PrusaMINIs had issues that required constant disassembly, including with the filament sensor box (was using weird filament). Not a fan of how the Bowden tubes are fitted into the MINI's sensor box. So I took the bores for the PC4-M10 and put them on the ends of the PrusaMINI's sensor box.
Original sensor box stl files (MINI-fsenzor-box.stl and MINI-fsenzor-cover.stl) were taken from the PrusaMINI GitHub repo.

For reference, the owner's assembly instructions are found here, but don't go in-depth about the internals.
