Ender 3 Filament Guide - Direct Drive Compatible v2.0

thingiverse

I added a direct drive unit to my Ender 3 and in the process changed the orientation of the filament spool 90 degrees. I needed a filament guide the would accommodate this need. I had been using https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3059604 and it was great but kept slipping up and down. So I created this to screw down. Remove spindle arm (with attached spool spindle) and bolts from printer, remove spool spindle, slide new piece from top of spindle arm and slide to the bottom of spindle arm. Replace the current M5 bolts with longer ones (I'm not sure how long at the moment) and reassemble spool and spindle arm. Currently in the process of using this shape as a basis for a filament guide/filament runout sensor using the z-stop switch (I have a BLTouch and am not using the z-stop switch). To be posted soon.
