Roller and Filament Guides for Anet A8 Filament Spool Roller System

thingiverse

I really like the Anet A8 Filament Spool Roller Arm by ulightme (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2016985) and it works very well except occasionally, the roller guides would shift along the rod I chose to use stainless steel, causing the spool to fall off. I designed the filament guide to clip between the roller bearings on the rod, providing a secure path for the filament as the X-axis moves. This prevents the filament from pulling at an angle and keeps it in place. When needed, I can easily bend the guide upward to hold the filament firmly in place instead of feeding it back into the spool. I also designed the clips to snap onto the rod, securing the roller bearings in position and preventing them from sliding out. This design ensures a smooth and uninterrupted print process.
