CR-10 CR10 filament guide

thingiverse

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/cSIpdBlyV3N I recently acquired a CR-10 printer. Having the spool holder on the control box is an inconvenience, so I attached the spool holder to the top of the frame. This is a significantly better location, but it means the filament flows straight down to the extruder. I created this in Tinkercad to provide a gentle curved surface for the filament to follow. The file is publicly accessible. My printer came with the filament end detector, which I assume they all do now. It's designed to fit over the filament detector. I printed it in red so it stands out well against the black components of the existing printer. The spool doesn't turn as freely as the filament pulls it down onto the supporting bar, so I'm now printing a roller bearing to make it turn more smoothly. When I am satisfied, I will upload that too.
