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...
