<p>Edit 18 Jan 22: Added a tool-less version that can just be inserted into a 2020 rail, turned 90 degrees and stay (mostly) in place. :)</p> <p>I was inspired by some other spherical filament guides I've seen on here, but being that I wanted one that could be used with a Bowden tube, I decided to create my own.</p> <p>BOM:</p> <p>Guide</p> <ul> <li>1x M6 pneumatic fitting (https://www.amazon.com/Witbot-Straight-Fitting-Connector-Printer/dp/B01NANKRTD)</li> <li>1x M6 nylon lock nut</li> </ul> <p>Large Base</p> <ul> <li>1x M3 T-Nut</li> <li>1x M3x6mm Socket Cap Machine Screws</li> </ul> <p>Small Base</p> <ul> <li>2x M3 T-Nut</li> <li>2x M3x6mm Socket Cap Machine Screws</li> </ul> <p>Printing:</p> <ul> <li>Any material</li> <li>Print "Guide" on its side with supports hex</li> </ul> <p>I'm going to add a design that doesn't need a base and instead can be inserted into the V-slot rails, then rotated 90 degrees to lock it in place.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 5</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>5</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Any Any Any</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
