CR-10S Pro Bearing Filament Guide with retaining loop.

UPDATE: This Thing probably isn't gonna get any more love from me. This is my current go-to design for a filament guide in this printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4523343 I remixed this from sandeezy's design. It uses a 608 sealed ball bearing, commonly found in skateboard or rollerblade wheels. I made this because I found that certain types of filament would get enough slack in them during a print that they would slip off of the roller and I wanted a loop to keep the filament aligned. The mount and bearing sleeve are un-modified from sandeezy's files and are included just for completeness. I glued the bearing cover/retaining loop in place on the mount using the stubby post and the back edge of the loop, being careful not to foul the bearing. Loading stiff filaments is a little trickier because of the lack of space with this bit in place, so I pull some extra filament down below the guide and roll that slack back up. It's kind of a pain, TBH. I might revisit this idea with a removable retaining loop or something. This is my first use of any CAD program.
