Filament Guide for Ender-2

thingiverse

A Simple yet Effective Filament Guide for the Ender-2. This ingenious device keeps the filament at a safe distance of less than 1mm from the z-axis spindle, eliminating any risk of damage or unnecessary friction. By doing so, it also ensures that the filament enters the extruder in a perfectly straight line, reducing strain on the inlet-hole and promoting smoother prints. The best part? This guide can be easily installed alongside the stock spindle guide bushing using the original screws, requiring no additional modifications or hassle. I opted for this solution over other more complex designs found on Thingiverse because it strikes the perfect balance between functionality and simplicity. Since installing this clever filament guide, I've also discovered that it allows me to mount my spool holder to the front side of the printer, making spool changes a breeze and improving the overall stability of the printer by adjusting its center of gravity. This upgrade has been a game-changer for my printing experience, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.
