Filament guide with bearing

youmagine

Underneath my machine, a filament spool sits on the floor, tucked away under the desk. When printing, I noticed that the filament would come into contact with the printer's upper corner. To solve this issue, I decided to add a guide to prevent any further problems. In my drawer, I found a spare 6001 bearing (28x12x8) along with some M8 washers and an M6 screw. With these components in hand, I designed a custom holder and reduction sleeve (12mm external diameter and 6mm internal hole). This setup is specifically intended for use with the MendelMax 1.5.
