view allLooks like overkill. I posted a filament guide (with rounded edges to avoid snags) and that was more than good enough. Remaining problems feeding the filament are entirely with the spool. The 1kg spools may be better but when you first put a 5 pound package on a spool (with bearings) it doesn't unroll very smoothly. That's where most of the potential for improvement lies.

I love your approach to this guide! I have not seen it done like this before! Great idea! :)

In this case, I like this kind of over kill. :)
