Ender 3 Z Axis Bearing support and Filament Guide

thingiverse

Saw plenty of Z support prints and filament guides. But I wanted something that did both, so here ya go! I left the bearing at a slightly lower height to enable the use of a z-axis adjustment knob. However, I haven't checked for interference of the x-gantry at max height as I never print anything that goes that high... Be warned. Print this in a similar orientation as seen in the screenshot. For supports just use "Touching build plate only". Around 10% infill is about right depending on the style of infill you use. The bearing used is the common 608 (8x22x7mm) and should be a firm press fit. The hardware used came spare with my Ender 3 (see pics). They're a couple of the extrusion locking t-pieces and M4x14 countersunk bolts. But anything of similar size should suffice. I think that has covered everything.
