CR-10 Filament Guide, Duster, and Oiler (Final)

(Note: just uploaded v2 which is smoother - photograph is of V2 - older version removed.) A Bowden filament guide, duster, and oiler designed specifically for CR-10 machines helps keep the filament away from the Z-axis screw-thread while cleaning it without bending it too far from the Bowden feeder hole. Place a small amount of cotton wool or foam in the holder and add one to three drops of grape-seed, olive, or 3-in-1 oil. I suggest using grape-seed oil because it has less of a smell than olive oil. Only use a very small amount of oil; don't be tempted to add more than a few drops. If you can smell burning oil when printing, you've added too much. The device clips onto the Bowden feeder, but if your screws are not fitted in the correct place, you may need to do some filing to get it to fit properly. Raft/Brim settings depend on you; use supports or try rotating the object at an angle where it will print without any issues. I recommend printing with ABS instead of PLA because this part needs to bend gently when fitted.
