Description
Filament guide that helps align filament with the hobbed bolt.
After having several prints fail by filament feed issues, I designed this part to help align the filament prior to the hobbed bolt.
Since installation - I've yet to have filament roll off alignment.

Instructions
I printed this out of PLA.
1. Remove tension screws at top of E-Idler from Print head and open print head exposing hobbed bolt.
2. Mount printed part just behind E-Idler on the print head.
3. When closing and re-tensioning print head - feed filament through slot.
4. Print away!

I made one but the holes didn't line up on the LC extruder.
