Filament guide

thingiverse

I created a filament guide due to issues with the extruder frequently yanking the filament unevenly against the filament reel, resulting in uneven positioning. The problem was easily solved by ensuring that the filament couldn't migrate excessively towards the edges. Steps To build this easy-to-make and highly effective solution using SolidWorks 2015: Step One: Measure out six 2mm thick x 4cm long brass rods. Create a new part in SolidWorks 2015. Extrude a rectangle that measures 8 cm by 10 cm with a thickness of 2 mm. Sketch the bottom left corner as indicated. Extrude it again with an offset from 12 mm. Use the Move Tool to reposition and then join three brass rods together along with one end attached under the part created using the 'Add New Component' option in SolidWorks. Do the same thing on the right-hand side. Next, cut six holes through both sides, then insert all remaining rods and attach them to the underside of the solidified component. Finally, make a series of cuts between each pair of parallel brass bars so as not only keep it at an appropriate distance from being damaged or misplaced by an excessively fast speed at which one moves their printing pen around during high quality jobs where detailed precision is important; but also serves more effectively within space constrained projects since fewer unnecessary structural elements would prevent anything unwanted coming in the way due lack of extra physical components obstructing normal operations while leaving much wider open areas untouched so no interference occurred throughout all times especially concerning highly intricate movements when trying maintain highest accuracy possible without being distracted due over cluttering up work area altogether.
