Hello!! Here I have made a filament guide to stop filament coming off the spool mid print, I was having problems printing the base to my PS5 charging tower due to it being massive and taking 2 rolls of filament to print, when I would pause the print after the first roll the second fresh roll would keep unspooling, see photos to see the issue, so here we have the very reason for 3D printing…. upgrades!!! XD So this filament guide solves this issue at the same time as looking pretty snazzy too, and with a PTFE lining where the filament passes through the guide makes it work really well, very smooth, the only extra parts needed is about 40mm of 12mm PTFE tube. No need for automatic supports as this has its own built in custom support, Easy attachment to any prusa with the easy to print clamp system, don't worry easy to follow instructions too :) I have 2 other versions of this print, one with no PTFE, and one with 4mm PTFE instead of 12mm (4mm is the same size as the PTFE that you have spare with your prusa) Happy Printing, Happy filament guiding!! XD
