Description
This is a variation of the YF007-5 Cable Guide for bicycle frames that use bottom pull front derailleur.
Printed with PETG. Looks and feels reliable, but real durability was not tested yet as I don't ride my bike in Winter.
Recommended settings: 5 Walls and 100% Infill.
This is a 3D-printer friendly version that requires 6 grams of plastic only. I used some solutions to avoid lots of support and keep the cable tracks clean and smooth. Tree support is only needed to support the bottom side of the upper platform. Use support blockers to disable support for all other parts:
Version 1 has larger holes for the cables.
Version 2 has smaller holes (more like the original shimano guide).
I don't know which one is better, I recommend trying Version 2 first. Version 1 with larger holes may perform better in dirty environment (not sure, though).
