Edit 18 Jan 22: Added a tool-less version that can just be inserted into a 2020 rail, turned 90 degrees and stay (mostly) in place. :)
I was inspired by some other spherical filament guides I've seen on here, but being that I wanted one that could be used with a Bowden tube, I decided to create my own.
BOM:
Guide
- 1x M6 pneumatic fitting (https://www.amazon.com/Witbot-Straight-Fitting-Connector-Printer/dp/B01NANKRTD)
- 1x M6 nylon lock nut
Large Base
- 1x M3 T-Nut
- 1x M3x6mm Socket Cap Machine Screws
Small Base
- 2x M3 T-Nut
- 2x M3x6mm Socket Cap Machine Screws
Printing:
- Any material
- Print "Guide" on its side with supports hex
I'm going to add a design that doesn't need a base and instead can be inserted into the V-slot rails, then rotated 90 degrees to lock it in place.
