Hinged Filament Guide

Needed a filament guide above my extruder to hold the filament off some cable ties that it occasionally rubbed against. But I also needed it to be out of the way to load the filament easier. I designed this to meet both requirements.

Designed for the extruder assembly on an Anet A8, but there's no reason it couldn't be used anywhere on any printer with a conveniently positioned screw. Slot is for 1.75mm filament.

I've also added a hinge pin and cap, however these are very small (M3) so if they don't work for you, just stick an M3 screw through it. The hole is pretty tight for this, which keeps the hinge more rigid.

Happy Printing.
