Improved Filament Guide

thingiverse

I was looking for an easy way to feed filament directly into my run-out sensor and extruder without any tangles or drag. I finally found a guide that met my needs, which is specifically tailored for my Geeetech A10 v3 3D printer but should work with other models as well. Before creating this solution, I was using a combination of a square piece of PLA attached to the frame, a section of coat hanger wire, and a printed wheel to feed filament into the extruder. However, this setup had its drawbacks. To build this guide, you'll need: One 608 bearing (available on Amazon) Two M3 socket cap screws (also available on Amazon) One M3 flat head screw (you can find it on Amazon as well) I also added a modified shorter arm to the design. This new arm is even shorter and positioned slightly forward (but has yet to be tested). I'd love to see if others would like to suggest modifications for this part, especially Mikeandthemechanics.
