Topic: fishing pole tip filament guide

This is working really well so far. It dampens "wobble" from the floor. filament is very consitent.

Comments welcome!
ps-the 191C temp on the PID is just the soak. I dial it back to get my tolerance.

Yes, it's ABS from OS printing.  I think I like this setup. It allows you to move the guide to the best position, and it keeps one point of contact on the filament at all times.

You gotta love the stuff right!? It's so handy when you want to throw something together. My "kids" aren't really kids anymore, both aaaaaargh! teenagers! Heaven help me!
