Further improved dbgeorge's design:
► added upper guides to stop wiggly filament getting around the gear
► shrunk the hole around the gear (also to stop filament getting there)
► extruded a nozzle around the PTFE tube entry to hold it more steadily (half of it sticks in)
► removed the hole below the spring - improves structure if printed with high infill density
Note: the added upper guides fit around the original gear, I haven't tested with replacement gears
