Summary

EDIT - 08-13-21

Revised my model a bit to be more stable and also changed the angle that spool enters the guide to make extrusion cleaner.

Loved the original design idea but I have changed to a metal extruder from Creality on my machine so the guide hole didn't quite line up. While redrawing the part I also changed the ID of the guide to accommodate the capricorn tubing I have on my machine.

Works great!

Tips

            <div><p>After printing you can use the guide as is, or if you'd like to incorporate the "brake" as per the original design, you can insert and cut some PTFE tubing to fit inside.Simply press in and cut flush on either side using a razor blade. </p></div>
