TEVO Tornado Filament Guide

thingiverse

I have created a 1.75mm filament guide that is incredibly robust, easy to print, and employs a piece of 4.0mm OD PTFE Teflon bowden tube. By incorporating the PTFE Teflon tube, it minimizes wear on the guide or filament, yet promotes unrestricted movement of the filament. It can be used with various filament spool holders. I have tested it with an above-the-printer setup & having the spool holder mounted under a shelf, off to the side using a CR-10 filament spool holder on both setups. This design was specifically created for and tested on the Tevo Tornado printer, but can be used on other brands, especially the Creality CR-10 style printer. Please let me know what other models it may fit or if you would like some tweaking on it. Dimensions are: 150 degrees, 15mm width & utilize two M5 screws with T-Slot Nuts to mount the guide onto the printer rail. Future Support: This design should be able to support using the PTFE Teflon bowden tube from the filament guide all the way to the extruder to protect the filament and support all enclosed filament setups. As of 04-30-2020 I'm still waiting for my 5m of tubing to come in, so I can test this. Will let everyone know as soon as I can. Pro Tip: No supports are needed when printing. The PTFE Teflon bowden tube should be 35mm-50mm in length & will be a tight press fit into the filament guide. You may need to clean out the hole on the guide "depending on how clean your printer printed the guide" before you can insert the PTFE Teflon tube.
