Improved mount for the filament guide tube on the Replicator 2. Simply click it onto the original mount, no extra tools needed.
The original mount for the guide tube is very close to the casing and has several issues;
Inspired on some other existing things, combining all their benefits into one, I am trying to solve all these problems at once.
There are 2 slots for guide tubes, in case you use dual extrusion. Each slot has it's own 2 openings on the bottom where filament can be fed from either spool.
As these openings are shaped like funnels, it's easier to insert filament. And because these openings are positioned over 30mm backwards, they are easier to reach, while they spool the filament more from the center instead of pulling to the side.
