Filament (3mm) Guide for accessible Wade's Extruder

thingiverse

Derivative work of laser cut MDF guide for 3mm filament from Sacha Di'Angeli at PS1 (which I could not print) and of thing 13351, which needed a slot for easy access. First attempt at openSCAD 2011.12.19 Could not figure out existing part 13351, so mostly started from scratch This part is an attachment to accessible Wader's extruder, it is a guide for 3mm filament to prevent filament walking off guide bearing. The primary difference from thing 13351 is the slot from the PS1 part, which allows flip up for easy access change filament and to clean the hobbed bolt. The file was intended to controlled completely by the filament diameter parameter; but I quit while ahead after getting 3mm filament to work on my machine. I did some weird rotation so the loop would not start in an inconvenient location, this may be no longer necessary. Instructions WHEN PRINTING FINISHES, run a 2.5 mm long bolt through the hinge WHILE its still HOT to clean up the hinge hole so you don't have to file it out
