Filament guides I have seen require the filament spool to be located directly behind the printer. However, users with dry boxes or other storage solutions often need a more flexible solution such as placing the spools on the side of the printer which the original model didn't support.
This model is designed to address that issue. I've added a movable middleware feature that allows the guide to rotate and tilt slightly. This provides a smoother filament path and reduces strain, especially for setups where the filament spool is positioned to the side of the printer.
Versions:
- Standard 4mm PTFE tubing.
- 6mm PTFE tubing.
Note:
- Supports: This design doesn't require support
- Clearance: I set the clearance for the PTFE tubing to 0.4mm for the 4mm version and 0.5 for the 6mm version.

The author remixed this model.
Differences of the remix compared to the original
- Movable Middleware: The core difference is the rotating and tilting middle section for the filament guide.
- Side-Spool Compatibility: This remix specifically addresses the needs of users with filament stored beside their printer.
- PTFE Options: Choose between 4mm and 6mm PTFE tube versions.
- Sturdy Clip: Enhanced the flexibility of the spool arm clip for increased durability.
