Filament Guidance Spool

thingiverse

Since I bought a filament dryer ([Sovol 3D](https://www.amazon.com/Sovol-Filament-Dehydrator-Printing-Compatible/dp/B09686Z5R3/)) I had some issues with tension on the filament input on my Anker M5. This was related to the angle filament entering the machine. (Sovol 3D) So I resolved that by using the original filament holder, which already worked fine but since I added this Filament guidance spool it goes even smoother. When doing higher pints it might happen that the filament falls of the spool, to resolve that I added a Support over the spool. (Thanks to [HiShak](https://www.thingiverse.com/hishak/designs) for pointing this out!) It looks like the support has a nice opening to guide the filament trough, I would not recommend this, this will add more friction to the process. I just added some empty space to save filament. **Filament Spool:** Made for Anker M5 but can be used on all filament holders. **Dimensions:** * Inner circle: 9mm * Diameter: 56mm * Width: 38 mm **Filament Support:** Specially made for the Ankermake filament holder extension bar. **For the Ankermake M5 users, i added the pre-sliced GCODE files for printing with PETG**
