Aquila Filament Guide

This is designed for the Aquila base model or X2. It attaches in the holes where the filament sensor attaches if you have one and will replace the 2 spacers beneath the sensor. If you still have your sensor, the bolts will go down through the top of the sensor, then through the filament guide then through the mounting plate of the extruder, essentially eliminating those little silicone spacers under the sensor. I recommend lock washers on these 2 bolts. If you no longer have a sensor or if your model did not come with one then don't worry about it, it will attach right to the plate in the holes where the sensor would have gone. I have a base model Aquila and the X2 and it fits on both in the exact same way

I used a 6252 bearing tho any size bearing that's close will work but you will have to adjust the size of the ring accordingly, theres enough room between the arms that support the bearing to allow for a wider or larger diameter bearing. I just used what I had on hand

Use M3 bolts to attach to extruder mounting bracket in the holes that already exist, the length will depend on whether you have a sensor an M4 bolt is needed for the bearing and I recommend a lock nut on that

Supports needed for the bracket

In the picture with the parts I have to bearing rings, you only need one, I was just showing one with the bearing installed and one without
