Description
Filament guide for Ender 3 v2, no roller or bearing needed, just 4 mm PTFE tubing
I had a filament stick between the wheel and the frame of the original. Why invent the wheel, if you've got PTFE tubing.
This filmanet guide also makes it very easy to thread the new filament if the printer is in an enclosure, as the PTFE tube goes almost to the filament hole in the extruder.
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender 3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0,2
Infill:
20%
Filament: 3de premium PLA Black
Notes:
The print contains two bridges, but they printed without any issues or sagging, so no need for supports. If the bridging doesnt work for you, use supports, but remember to supportblock the "tunnel" for the PTFE-tube.
Cut a piece of 4mm PTFE tubing - about 10 cm. Push it through the "tunnel" until it protrudes about 1,5 cm. If it sticks in the tunnel, try from the other side. You can chose the distance to the extruder hole by cutting or pushing/pulling on the PTFE tube.
I measured the original to get the interface with the frame of the x-axis motor, then tried 9 different variants to get the curvature and the positioning of the "tunnel" right. Made in fusion 360.
