Makerbot Replicator 1 Filament Guide

thingiverse

This is an upgraded filament guide tube holder & guide for the **Makerbot Replicator Dual**. The original guide tubes click into place at the rear panel of the printer, totally out of sync with the spool itself. Most of the filament guides I found here put too much pressure on the filament, leading to breaks during print jobs. This version clicks right into the original filament guide tube holders, so no additional hardware is needed. The tube is relocated to the centre of a standard 1kg spool and the cone-shaped opening makes it easy to load filament into the tube and prevents sharp bends in the filament. Based on the concept of the _FlashForge Creator PRO Filament tube holder_ by _Paul4x4Design_, I reimagined it from scratch in Fusion 360.
