Hanging Filament Guide with Swivel for a Low Ceiling Enclosure.

thingiverse

I posted another remix of this Swivel Eye for a different enclosure and I love the design. I needed the same thing in another enclosure, but this one has a very low ceiling, so I needed a version that was low-profile, and here it is. I chopped off as much as possible, leaving the bare guts of the swivel itself, added 2 wings for mounting to the ceiling, then I added a small holder to the top for a small guide wheel. It works perfectly. Just print the parts using PETG for strength (0.20 layers-2 walls-2 tops-2 bottoms- and all at 100% infill). No supports are needed. I chose 4 spacers because sometimes a print is too small to cool properly between layers and won't be worth using. Always good to have spares ... LOL !! Push the 608 bearing (22mm OD-8mm ID-7mm Thick) into the center hole of each wheel, then lock it all in place with the M5 bolt through a spacer, and a lock nut, which you tighten as much as possible but importantly (this is why a lock-nut not a regular nut) still allowing enough free-play for it to spin. Then use a couple of M3 screws and lock nuts to attach it to the ceiling of the enclosure. Thanks a bunch TikiLuke !! I really appreciate your design. I hope you enjoy this remix, and PLEASE click "Like" if you like, or love, my work. EDIT: I cleaned up the body and added some counter sinks and a body with a nut holder. It's a bit stronger this way and looks better. Enjoy !!
