Replacement Filament guide for the Ultimaker 2. This guide incorporates a bearing to reduce friction while guiding the filament.
Inspired by:
UM2 Filament Guide by Labern https://www.youmagine.com/designs/um2-filament-guide & Low friction UM2 spoolholder by IRobertI https://www.youmagine.com/designs/low-friction-um2-spoolholder
I didn’t like the way the stock Filament guide on the UM2 was fixed and added extra friction to the feeder assembly and a groove was beginning to wear into the guide also. I created one that would utilize a bearing and a more robust mounting design.
There are designs for both 608 and 626 bearings included. I have only printed and tested the 608 assembly as those are the bearing I had on hand, extra from building IRobertl’s Spoolholder. Please let me know if you use the 626 version if there are problems that need to be corrected.
I chased the M4 threaded hole with a tap but you may not need to if you print the part with a small enough layer height. All the parts should print without support except the base bracket which will require some support in the recess on the bottom side.
