Lulzbot Mini Filament Guide

I updated this part based on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2690559 to match the exact height of the top of the extruder. My design fixes a problem with an enclosure and the original design that would hit the top of the plexiglass. It also allows for full movement of the filament extruder mechanism, making it less obtrusive. You may need to scale this part up in your slicer software from inches to mm, or 25.4. The far right placement of the filament spool on the mini causes the filament to be pulled at extreme angles with respect to the hobbed bolt assembly. This results in occasional jams or skips due to angle changes, so I designed this part to guide the filament straight into the bolt. This part fits snugly into the little slots just above the bearing assembly. You'll need to sand or adjust dimensions slightly depending on your filament for a nice tight fit. I recommend using ABS or PETG for stiffness. No supports are required if you print it oriented as shown.
