We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A filament guide designed as a drop-in upgrade for Creality Ender 3 printers. The stock guide on the Ender 3 is prone to being worn through by the filament as it enters the feed gear housing, and this part addresses that by incorporating a smooth-running printed V-groove bearing. It guides filament into the extruder with less friction and reduced wear on the surrounding plastic. PLA is a reasonable choice for this part, as the extruder area on an Ender 3 does not typically reach temperatures that would soften it.

Original maker's notes

By FragrantAbyss on Thingiverse · CC-BY

After a couple weeks using my Ender3 I quickly realized why there are so many filament guide accessories. The filament entering the feed gear housing was quickly cutting its way through the stock guide. After a lot of searching for a guide with a 3D printed bearing that would work smoothly I gave up and designed my own using a re-mix of Emmett's Gear Bearing. This bearing is by far the smoothest running 3D printed bearing I have found and turns out it works great with an added v-groove as a filament guide. If you have just started using an Ender3 printer give this thing a try.
