### This remix accomplishes 4 objectives:
1. Allow the guide to be added without removing filament, simplifying installation
2. Only attach with a single screw to simplify installation
3. Kove the guide further away from the extruder to increase the angle of support, making it easier to pull on a spool that was poorly wound
4. Lower the guide itself so that the filament doesn't erode the extruder lever. Even plain old PLA is abrasive and will carve away the soft plastic used in the Ender-3's extruder lever. By lowering the guide, we can wear the cheap part (the filament guide) instead of the extruder lever.

In order to solve #1 a gap had to be added to the guide which then necessitated the additional support structure, tying the guide to the shield, which also makes support removal easier. A plate stiffener was added to account for the increase in distance from the extruder and the guide only being secured by a single screw.
