Monoprice MP Select Mini Filament Guide

thingiverse

2016-10-16 - Someone remarked that this filament guide still works fine with the filament filter (available elsewhere). He said the filter just rides between the guide and the extruder. 2016-09-22 - I had a suggestion in the Facebook group to add a piece of nylon tape to the guide where the filament rubs against it. This would be to prevent wear. So far I'm content without it, and haven't noticed much wear. YMMV. 2016-09-20 - I had a report that this model wasn't printing well. I believe I traced this to an old .stl being uploaded. I believe I fixed the model. Let me know if not. This borrows from jasonjones' Filter Bar and converts it to a filament guide for those who do not wish to use a filter. Like the original, it uses the stock screws with washers. I noticed that, with the stock filament spool holder, the filament rakes across the curved edge of the z-axis tower, and enters the extruder at a strange angle. I figured a filament guide might take some pressure off the filament as well as guiding it straight into the extruder. I let my filament feed off of the front side of the spool. I haven't tested this with rear feed.
