Description

Bracket adapter to provide a 10 degree angle to the original bracket.  Allows for easier feeding of filament for spools placed in the front left side of the printer.

Recommended to use the toroidal shaped bearing outer ring I also designed for improved operation / eliminate filament jumping out of the guide.
