Anet A8 filament guide

thingiverse

A crucial component designed to shorten the distance between the filament propeller and tube, preventing filament from escaping its intended path during Flex printing. Engineered with the Anet A8 in mind, but compatible with Prusa i3 printers using similar extruder assemblies. Important note: this is an ongoing project; current dimensions are incorrect, rendering it ineffective for filament flow into the tube. Please do not attempt to print this model as minor misalignments can cause filament to bypass its intended path. Contributions welcome; a Blender file has been attached to facilitate dimension adjustments and boolean subtractions. Update: initial research suggests using an MK10 extruder extension kit, which achieves similar results at a lower cost of approximately $20. This may render further development unnecessary; however, caution is advised due to potential thermal runaway and equipment damage.
