Extended Filament guide With Z Axis Stabilizer V1

thingiverse

I wanted an extended filament guide with a Z axis stabilizer to support my filament runout sensor. Note 1: I am using KaminoKGY's Filament Runout Sensor Mount found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4014649 This is my first published design. It has the extended arm for the filament guide so it gets a nice curve into the filament runout sensor. It includes the Z axis stabilizer which has bearings in it. Bearings can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082PT95TL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bearing Dimensions are: 12mm Outer Diameter 8mm Inner Diameter 2.5mm Height I use 2 of these but you could use 1 up to 7mm tall. I printed it in draft quality on my ender 3 pro. I hollowed out the design a bit to reduce print volume even further and it has maintained integrity so far. You do have to print with supports and clean these supports out thoroughly as it is a tight fit mounting to the top rail. (see red highlighted areas in pictures} I based my design on original concept but incorporated ideas from multiple other designs. Note 2: I am currently working on a version 2 with a slightly wider inside measurement to see if it would fit better on the top rail. If you find anything or have some other recommendations please feel free to let me know. Thanks
