Maker Ultimate Filament Guide

thingiverse

This is a straightforward part for my Monoprice Maker Ultimate, but it serves an important function. Without some kind of guide, the filament occasionally slips around the outside of the spool and stops unspooling as the print progresses (especially on a brand new/full roll). While there are more advanced solutions that add Bowden tubes and numerous guide clips, this one gets me printing fun stuff quickly again. On the back of the cabinet frame, just behind the Y-axis motor, is a small slot about 6mm x 18mm. Simply push the mount through this slot from the inside and then slide the guide into the notch on the outside.
