Extruder Idler with replaceable guider

pinshape

This is a customizable extruder idler/guider designed specifically for Greg's/Wade's extruders, featuring a replaceable filament guide that can be easily swapped out when it becomes worn down after extended use. By incorporating a removable guide, this design eliminates the need to replace the entire idler assembly, saving time and resources. To further enhance durability, the guide can be printed with Nylon material, which is known for its long-lasting properties. The guide slides snugly into place within the idler's slot, where it is securely fastened using a precision-fitted wood screw, as illustrated in the accompanying image. Printer Settings: Model: MendelMax 1.5 Raft: Disabled Supports: Disabled Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 40% Notes: For optimal results, I recommend printing both the idler and guide using ABS plastic, although the guide can also be printed with Nylon for added durability. The example model shown features a Nylon guide for enhanced longevity.
