RL 2020 filament guide

thingiverse

**Update 2020-04-14**: Added v3 arm which stands taller, perfect for filament exiting from the top of the roll. Original design was tailored for filament from the bottom, but this new version adapts to changing needs. I encountered issues printing the original design - the "cut" part of the loops would detach from the bed, and PETG material doesn't tolerate small parts well. This modified arm is designed for use on an Ender 5 Plus with a direct drive modification (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4041743). The large bed requires filament to move extensively, so I employed a stretched torus as the guide to accommodate this movement. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to model it so it would print flat without supports. Instead, it prints in two or three pieces that you'll need to glue together, which is relatively easy. There are two versions available - one with a slot for a bottom guide and one without. Choose the version that works best for your filament path.
