I was using Leo_N's filament guide but then suddenly my Ninjaflex was folding under the idler pulley. I designed this to sit a little closer to the extruder gear as well as having adjustable positioning with an elongated mounting hole. All filaments are now printing like a dream.

Hole Cleaning and Alignment
I ran a 5/64" (1.93mm) drill bit through the hole by hand and it was sticking a bit (making a tick tick tick sound, almost like static sometimes). I bored the hole out further with a 3/32" (2.30mm) bit and it works great.
Before I tightened down the nut to hold the guide in place I inserted a length of filament that went through the filament guide I have on the extruder, through this filament guide, and then into the throat tube. Having the filament comfortably aligned I held the filament guide down firm and tightened the nut. It seems to have worked out nicely.Category: 3D Printer Parts
