PTFE Minimum Radius Guide

I created a minimum radius guide to decrease filament friction in the bend above the extruder.

It has the nice side effects of also keeping the PTFE tube straight into the fitting, as well as stopping the PTFE tube slapping against the top glass when printing at the right hand side of the bed.

This model has now been ujpdated to a V2 with a couple of improvements over the original.

Especially if you’re using an AMS, I’d highly recommend updating to V2.

The original version was found to be increasing resistance at the entry - the exact opposite of what the model was designed to do!

The new version also has a slightly redesigned attachment to the top of the hot-end assembly, resolving a problem where it would come loose when positioned over the poop chute.
