Filament guide for Mini Enclosure
Got a Mk4 at work. And a Mini at home. Mini enclosure misses out on the Mk4 enclosure's filament guide. When printing, I found the sensor and PTFE tube tended to pull all the way up to the spool and risk jamming against the coils of filament.
So I did a quick and dirty hack of the Mk4 guide to fit the mini -
Chopped up the Mk4 guide (in F360) and re-assembled (I did miss one countersink, had to drill it).
Worked! With a slightly longer tube into the filament sensor.
Although the tube does pull out of the filament sensor easily while loading filament. Might need glue...
But thinking; just needs a re-modelled filament sensor, bolted solidly to the front frame, and that'd be neater and just as effective. Just need time to do it...
