Filament guide for Prusa MK3/S

prusaprinters

<p>This filament guide is designed to mount on the injection molded Prusa MK3/S spoolholder-base, and needs short pieces of PTFE-tube to function properly. (for example the spare PTFE-tubes included for the hotend)</p> <p>Why I designed this one? I wanted:</p> <ul> <li>bigger distance to the extruder, even on taller prints.</li> <li>less risk of derailing and rat nest on the filament spool, due to slack in the filament caused by extruder movements.</li> </ul> <p>Happy printing!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I have successfully printed the model in Prusament PETG.</p> <p><strong>Assembly instructions</strong><br/> Supports are included in the model, has to be removed before assembly.</p> <p>Put the filament guide on the spoolholder-base as shown in the pictures. Lock it in place with the lock-plate.</p> <p><strong>Usage suggestions</strong><br/> To mount and unmount the PTFE tubes, push/bend slightly on the tip of the filament guide, making the slot for the tube open up a little.</p>
