I saw some other filament guides on here and wanted to make something similar. This is what I came up with. It's actually my first attempt at a print-in-place moving part and it worked, so that's pretty sweet. It clips onto the spool holder. The little hole is sized to press in a piece of PTFE tubing. That head piece pivots to reduce friction/pressure even more. I've included a screenshot of the orientation to print it.
Note: I painted inside the small hole to stop supports from being put in there as it's not necessary. The hole is a very snug fit for the PTFE tubing so I printed it at a 0.1mm layer height for extra smoothness.

After removing the support material (craft blade for the rotating part was needed for mine), cut a piece of PTFE tubing about 7.5mm long and press it into the small hole. I pressed it in a tad by hand then put it tube down onto my desk to press it in the rest of the way.
