There is a V7 you may want to check out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3080829
V5 Guard is below the bearing. Also deleted the V1 files as they were obsolete.
V4 All in one with a guard that was requested on the Ender 3 facebook group.
V3 All in one is 4mm shorter in an effort to align it even closer with the extruder.
Updated with All in One V2 It is pretty slick.
I keep adjusting and tinkering with the Ender 3 just because it is fun to explore! At this point I am back to the default extruder location, but I have added a Sweet Snap on Filament Guide. Simple mod that allows you to try it out and simply unsnap it if you decide it does not fit your needs.https://youtu.be/Pe1Ysrp7Mnk
Adding a new print in place bearing so you do not have to buy one if you do not wish to.
Added a all in one version what prints with a plastic bearing in place. The one labeled supported already has Meshmixer supports added. If you add supports in Cura it is likely that you will "lock" up the bearing with supports.
