Filament guides I have seen require the filament spool to be located directly behind the printer. However, users with dry boxes or other storage solutions often need a more flexible solution such as placing the spools on the side of the printer which the original model didn't support.

This model is designed to address that issue. I've added a movable middleware feature that allows the guide to rotate and tilt slightly. This provides a smoother filament path and reduces strain, especially for setups where the filament spool is positioned to the side of the printer.

Versions:

  • Standard 4mm PTFE tubing.
  • 6mm PTFE tubing.

Note:

  • Supports: This design doesn't require support
  • Clearance: I set the clearance for the PTFE tubing to 0.4mm for the 4mm version and 0.5 for the 6mm version.
