WE Apache Screwless Replacement Nozzle Guides

A model for some replacement nozzle guides for those who have stripped the threaded holes on their bolt. (like me)

Just print up-ended like in the screenshot below or in the provided Gcode, with the spikes facing up and a small amount of support on the underside, you should be able to print differently but this is how I've done mine.

They just press into the holes in the bolt once the nozzle with the pointy bits towards the front of the bolt, they should kind of click in and so far i have not had any issues.

2024 Update

I have now been using the same pair of these for over 2 years and they are still working perfectly. I've never had a single issue with them, and have had the nozzle in and out a fair few times.

Also, looking back you should be able to print it on its side, like the image below, for better strength but I've not tested it and the old way has worked fine for me so far.

And finally, uploaded the model in STEP format. The model is the same as the STL, STEPs just do curved features better.
