Golden spiral filament guide for the Ender 2/Ender 3

thingiverse

I designed a filament guide to prevent the filament from my spool from interfering with my lead screw. It seemed like a good idea to add a small loop to it, which can be found in nature and is known as the Golden Spiral. You can learn more about this mathematical concept here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral To attach the guide, I mounted it between the spool holder and the aluminum extrusion, using M5 bolts. The OpenSCAD code used to create the model was taken from this website: https://openhome.cc/eGossip/OpenSCAD/GoldenSpiral.html
