Filament guide with bearing

thingiverse

This is a creation I designed to facilitate the flow of filament from the reel to the extruder. Essentially, it's an engineered construct that houses a small bearing featuring a v-groove; the filament runs through this guide, ensuring seamless coordination between the extruder and its supply as the former pulls in additional filament, the resulting tension carefully managed by the bearing. The design was generated in OpenSCAD, allowing users to easily adjust the parameters up front for optimal flexibility in customizing the design to their individual needs.
