Monoprice MP Select Mini V2 Flexible Filament Guide v2.6 - 3.5mm base, 3mm feed hole

thingiverse

This design builds upon the outstanding work of several talented individuals who paved the way before me. I created a customized version specifically tailored to address the distinct gap size differences between the MP Select Mini V2 and its predecessor, the V1 unit. The main reason for this variation lies in the narrower nut width used on the newer model, resulting in an expanded gap that requires the feed guide to fill. Additionally, this revised design streamlines the print process by eliminating the need for post-print drilling of the feed hole. Please note that you will still have to remove the two front supports, carefully designed into the part, using pliers after printing. Incidentally, I discovered a crucial advantage when I unintentionally printed this updated design in black ABS plastic instead of my original intention with PLA. To my surprise, ABS proved to be a far superior choice for this specific print due to its rigid and brittle properties, which maintain proper alignment effortlessly. The enlarged feed hole incorporated into this version eliminates the need for adjusting the filament guide after installation, further enhancing the overall performance of the part.
