About this model

This extruder filament guide is for the Anet printers when needing to print flexible filaments such as TPU, Ninjaflex, Filaflex, etc... The part prevents the flexible filament from escaping or deforming during the extrusion process and tangle inside the extruder gear. This is declared as a remix. However this design is made from scratch since the original design by MasterFX didn't fit my printer perfectly. I've also added some improvements and 4 different versions to accommodate different heights concerning placement of the hot end throat. However I would recommend that the hot end throat be placed even with the mounting plate so that the heater block is furthest possible distance from the extruder carriage. I also found the idea from Bomber0 with the added rise very good and integrated it…
