E3D Insert

A filament guide insert for a E3D extruder.

I made the Davinci to E3D conversion but was frustrated with loading the filament. The extruder I purchased (knockoff) had a Bowden PTFE connector that made it difficult to load filament.

I created this insert to ease my pain. As you will see in the cutaway picture the throat is tapered from about 5 mils to about 2 mils.

This makes loading the filament pretty easy.
