Creality Filament Tangle Guard

myminifactory

This is to prevent the filament from getting tangled between the holder and the frame as per picture. Designed as an accessory for the Filament spool ball bearing holder, not a remix. The mount dimensions were taken from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3059604. The ball bearing holder works well, but sometimes the spool unrolls too much, causing the filament to get tangled between the holder and the printer's frame. To avoid this during long prints when no one is monitoring, a solution was created. A FreeCad file is included for those who want to make modifications. This accessory is used with the 55mm notch on my Creality CR-10S Pro with PanTech branded filaments. Simply slide it up and remove the filament spool; replace it with a new one and slide it down until the notch is between the spool walls, but not too much or the top of the spool will rub against the guard and not move freely.
