This is a simple front mount filament guide for an Ender 3 with a Sprite or potentially other direct drive hotends. Just need a couple of screws and an old piece of bowden tube.

Ill start by saying I am not a fan of the high mounted spool holders on the E3 S1 printers. I have not tested nor do i have any facts to back it up but it just seems like adding all that weight at the top of printer would cause some resonance or ringing issues.  Shake a stick in your hand and see how far it moves. Now tape a rock to the far end of stick and shake it again. That stick is moving a lot more now right??

Anyway, I swapped my E3V2 over to a sprite hot end and this is what i came up with to work with my front mount roller bearing spool holder. How well it works vs how simple it is really blows my mind. Works really well.
