Filament Guide Wheel for Wanhao i3 Plus

I designed this because I wanted my spool to sit beside my printer rather than on top, but I needed an elegant way for the filament to go up and back down over the top of the frame. This is the problem this wheel is meant to solve.

It's designed to not need any glue. Just print the wheel, the frame, and the axle and assemble. Depending on your printer's tolerances, you may need to sand the axle for the smoothest rotation.

Notes:

Use 3 or more lines for the axle. Print with a brim vertically. You don't have to take the brim off to use it as an axle either, it'll just butt up against the side of the frame.

You have two options to print the wheel. You can print the wheel as a whole piece with an extension on each side (with support) or you can print just the wheel and two washers separately.
