Aluminium Prusa i3 Filament Guide and tangle prevention

New filament reels are filled all the way to the edges with no extra borders to keep the filament on the reel. A lot of my prints got tangles and aborted due to filament coming off the reel and getting tangled.

So I designed a reel guard and filament guide all in one, all adjustable for different width of the reels using the bolts and nuts which are used to assemble eSun filament reels. So at least you won't have to run to the store looking for bolts and nuts.

This was designed for Aluminum Geetech Prusa i3 frame which has 6mm thickness and should sit on top of the frame under the reel if display is removed and relocated to a different place. So if you have Geetech Aluminum Prusa, this mod is for you.

Enjoy printing, don't forget to like if you find it useful.
