Summary

Wanted a new filament guide to fit my needs, so I remixed and combined and added my own design to a few popular designs by u/geekdad_3d and u/mediaman. When you print the ball, you should be able to pressfit a length of standard 4mm bowden tube. This is designed so you have very minimal to no tension or rubbing from the filament on any 3d printed parts. I am using a separate spool holder with skateboard bearings off to the side so everything pulls smooth.
