This filament guide, designed for the Ikea Lack enclosure, keeps the filament aligned with the X-carriage movement. I designed it to ensure the filament runs smoothly, without bending, during the full 260 mm X-axis travel, providing a consistent and reliable path.
Easy to print, no supports required
Snap-fit system: no screws needed
Filament path length: 260 mm, (optimized for the MK4S X-axis range)
Filament/PTFE channel width: 5 mm (for Ø4 mm OD PTFE tube)
Print settings
Material: PETG
Layer height: 0.25 mm
Perimeters: 3
Infill: 5%
Infill pattern: Rectilinear
infill angle: 40°
Supports: not required
Verifying the XY size compensation in the slicer may improve filament print accuracy and ensure a proper fit.
Installation
During installation, make sure the two tabs on the top part fit correctly into their slot in the bottom part.
