Prusa i3Mk2S Filament Guide for Side Feed by RayOfSunshine

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Take your kilo of filament off of the Z-frame of your Prusa i3Mk2S and set it on the table next to your printer. It makes it easier to change filament, and it has improved the quality of my prints.
This is the second version of this thing. I updated the clips so that the print head clears when moving towards +X at or near the +Z limit. I also thinned out the clips and put holes in them all over the place, which is merely cosmetic. The other important change was to straighten out the feed path by raising the center wheel and making the bracket separate so it can be rotated down.
There is some strain on the filament as you approach +Z max and +X max. I am not sure that it will print well there. But it is great everywhere else. My prints are typically pretty short in height, and I have not had any problems!
The final part is pretty flexible. Not an issue for usability, but the clips will definitely break if you whack them.
UPDATE - I separated the TUSH Remix²
