Summary

Remixed from a tutorial posted by KelVarnson on the Lulzbot forum page, this modified bracket keeps filament straight as it enters the extruder. I was having all sorts of issues with the Taz5 jamming especially when printing PLA. I started to realize that as the extruder gets to a certain height the filament becomes bent as the extruder tries to grab it.

I modified the bracket given in the tutorial here: https://forum.lulzbot.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3319, essentially making the mounting nut slot a little longer, cutting the profile down so that you can get your fingers underneath still. As well the filament thru holes and teflon tube holes were a little tight and I needed to clean them up with a drill, these allow it to just fit.
