The original idler arm is good, but I had gotten used to having an arm I can pull back to help feed.

Was able to use the supplied step file and modify it within Fusion 360.  Some cut and paste, and the part was extended 15mm. This was enough to get a finger and pull back.

Update Dec 2024:  Putting together my Voron 0.1 upgrade I noticed with the extend idler, that it was more difficult to get the extruder mounted.  The idler was in the path of a long allen key.  An additional model was added for those who can't access mounting screws from the side. The new part is named ExtendedIdlerNotch.stl.
