About this print

A snap-in filament guide designed to fit 2020 aluminium extrusion on Creality Ender 3 printers. It clips into the extrusion without tools and directs the filament path tidily during printing, reducing the chance of snags or tangles at the feed point. The guide is a common tool-free upgrade for Ender 3 owners who want a cleaner filament run. PLA is a practical choice for this part, as it suits the low-stress, room-temperature environment of a filament guide.

Snap In Guide, Many to choose from!

The Base Will fit tight but should not need any trimming, tested at a few resolutions.
Once its in the aluminum just click your guide in and call it a day.

Version 3 Is here, Optimized and should have no Ring print issues at any resolution.

If your printer hates to bridge, Print end clip with support lines at 1.8mm apart (5 lines total under roof) only touching build plate.

End Clip has been repaired, rear prongs are Back to thickness of original
Don't forget to cut any strands filling the top pillar or it will provide a lot of resistance.

For those who have tipped me a coffee, I offer back a huge thanks.
For those who wish to, I drink the cheap stuff.

Printing 2020 / Ender 3 Filament Guide

For 2020 / Ender 3 Filament Guide we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
