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.

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.
