No-Hassle Filament Clip - 12mm - Printrbot Simple Metal

thingiverse

This filament guide comes equipped with a built-in clip, allowing effortless removal and insertion of filament without having to disassemble your extruder! However, I've discovered some broken geometry on the clip - model number 01. Although this still manages to print for me, excluding the top cap. After transitioning to an overhead spool supported by a PVC bar, I no longer utilize this guide, and advise against settings that have filament routed upwards around the printer. A significantly better scenario exists when handling hanging filament. Made specifically to accommodate my printer's imperfections, you may need to adjust its scale for optimal compatibility with your own model. Guide 01 represents an outdated version (featured in the picture above), characterized by flawed geometry - still manages to slice and print properly though. Guide 02 is a revised openSCAD model, recommended for printing using PLA. Guide 03 was specifically designed for use with PLA filament, as it demands less flexibility than other options.
