Hi thanks for your feedback :) Not really sure of the distance that would be right so i uploaded two new files for the main support with minus 6mm and minus 9mm. I'm not using this guide at the moment so i'm not sure if this helps? If you can tell me the distance i need to reduce i can do this quite easily.

Hey didierkl - love the idea and we are testing your design and filament-guide. One request or question: we found out that for the use on UM2, the roll on your guide is too far away from the printer housing - we make very good experiences with it, but only when leading the filament over the arm of the guide - not the roll itself. Any interest or chance to shorten the arm and get the roll much closer to the wall? the feeder and filament insert-point are also close to the printer housing.. :) anyway - thank you for your efforts - the guide helps us a lot - Roland MJ :) can send picture on your request

If you use Cura you can rotate it with no problems normally. Maybe try to print a bit slower? but it has to lay flat

Yes why not. I already have a change request from thingiverse to adapt it for the power button

Hi, Cool idea with this filament guide. How about a feature request? Since some printers feature cushioned feet (to absorb vibrations), your guide wouldn't work. You could use the USB port to snap into so the guide holds onto it. Or design an adapter to fit around a usb cable inserted into the USB port.
