A simple filament guide based on the Comgrow/Sovol SH02 Dryer but will probably fit others.

Description

PDF

Photo shows it on an angled fitting but it should be usable without it.  Can be used for different orientations and angles.

I wanted to feed to the printer from above but the friction in the stock setup was to high sometimes snapping filament.  I tried to get it working with a modified angle setup https://www.printables.com/model/1035587-comgrowsovol-sh02-dryer-filament-guide-fix but for various reasons its limited to 30-45deg.

In reality all it needs is this simple guide though the angled adapter does help with internal filament alignment.

If there is any interest it might be worth doing a less extreme (dificult to fit) angled adaptor and various angled flexy guides. Let me know.

Printing:

  • It might be easier to print it standing up but it is worth printing it on its side as it will be a lot tougher in bending. A lot of flex is built in.

Update:

  • Apr'25:  Strengthened the thread and slightly reduced angel on the angled guide.  Should be a lot simpler to install and stronger.  The extreme angle tended to load up thread and snap it.
