A8 Side filament guide by tsh2

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I have my filament reel at the 10:30 position beding my printer. I added a 2nd dgide on the filament arm. I think there is room for more optimisation, filament still drags on the forner of the frame, and also on the edge of the guide loop when x=0.
The top part could be printed as a single piece, but this is just how i ended up building it.
Be aware that using this does add some drag to the filament, which I'm not really happy with. There is scope for polishing the loop a little more, but I've started by upping my extruder feed rate to 105%.
I subsequently tried using a printed roller and bearing, but actually that ended up worse, and I've reverted to using this part now.
