Filament Holder Stick [clips onto 2020] [straight & 90 deg]

thingiverse

This is my custom filament holder design. I'm running an FLSUN Delta printer, which has a sun gear filament holder mounted on top. Since I had to create an adapter, my filament ends up sitting quite high. Most other filament guides I've seen are relatively low or flat, so I built this one in Windows 10 3D Builder as a quick fix. I know, I'm using that program - but I'm running my printer from an old laptop and don't want to install anything better on it right now. I added a small notch to make loading and unloading the filament easier. The guide is sized for 1.7mm filaments, so they won't just fall out of the way. I've also created a 90-degree version, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. The flat one doesn't need any support, but the turned one will definitely require some. To give this design extra strength, I printed it with at least 60% infill - you might be able to get away with less. I'm thinking about adding small gussets on the bottom for added stability, but it's probably not necessary.
