Filament Guide - FT-5

thingiverse

Filament guide for FT-5 simplifies the process of running a bowden tube before the extruder, preventing filament snags from occurring. It also ensures even pull on the filament regardless of the extruder's position or movement. Two versions of this guide exist - one is chamfered at the bottom and the other features a slot to accept a bowden tube. I find the bowden bottom version preferable because it keeps the filament supported right up to the spool, eliminating the risk of tangles. To install the filament guide for FT-5, you'll need a bowden tube, an M4x12mm screw, and a t-nut. No additional bowden fittings are required. This filament guide works seamlessly with the spool holder found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1747792
