Extended Swivel Filament Guide for Direct Drive Ender 3 - No Screw Removal

thingiverse

I wanted the swivel filament guide after I swapped over to direct drive so I made one that went out the front and was in line with the extruder. It worked fine, but on a print that was nearly the full height of my printer, the extruder mount hit it and broke it off, so I extended it 2 inches in order to get the full print height. I've included both the extended and non-extended versions for your printing enjoyment. This mounts on the top rail, but you don't have to take the screws out to slide it in. Just insert it while it's sitting parallel to the top rail and then turn it 90 degrees and it will secure it into place. It needs supports, but only for the tab that goes into the slot which is very minimal.
