Small Filament Guide for bowden extruder

cults3d

Small filament guide for bowden extruder with screw thread makes installation easier. It also helps with standard filaments. I had issues with the inside screw thread sometimes. Tested in JG Aurora A1, where I printed my Piggy with TPU. Before that, elastic filament was constantly falling out of the tube. INSTALLATION You need to remove the black metal plate (on photo: 1,2,3) and take it off completely. Then, drive the guide into place carefully, not using too much force. If the guide is not in the correct position, slightly unscrew the tube holder (no. 4). Screw the guide in until it's in the right spot, then screw back the tube holder and secure everything to the extruder. After that, check if the guide is not too close to the grinder. You can move it around and listen for any grinding sounds with the guide. If it is too close, you'll need to unscrew the tube holder more or cut 1mm from the top of the guide (where the screw thread is) and try again. If the part breaks and gets stuck inside, you might need to use a left-handed screw (or a right-handed screw from the side of the tube holder after removing it) to pull it out. UPDATE: March 21st, 2019 Updated model. Now it's without small holes on the sides.
