Dual Quick Change Filament Guides

thingiverse

UPDATE (21/01/2014) I have added a single guide version with several offsets to chose from (25mm - 75mm) ORIGINAL POST I have always found the Replicator 2X filament guide tubes to be a pain when changing spools etc. It does not helped that the spools are behind the printer with poor access. I have been using the new system for a couple of days now and it works better that I could have hoped. I can change and route the filament blind how, so no more need to pull out and rotate the printer when changing spools :) NOTE - When printing with the hood on the uppermost guide needs to be slipped 180 degrees to run under the conduit - very easily done. There is a video here showing how I set it all up -http://youtu.be/2asGL8_U6xI Instructions Prints well at 0.2mm layer height, 1 shell, 100% concentric fill. Supports are required if printed in the default orientation. I used one of the old filament tubes inside the wire loom t o add some rigidity. Please see the video for installation guides.
