I liked the smooth, simple design of original filament guide by Ian_Crossley but it started lifting after a while. I have my filament spool bracket mounted vertically on top of the machine using the two bolts that hold the top of the printer together. Occasionally, if the spool was poorly wound and causing more tension on the filament guide than normal, it would bend at the mounting screws on either side of the z-axis rod and bend upwards. I felt this was defeating the purpose of the filament guide plus it squeaked like crazy anyway. Eventually it remained permanently bent upwards so I modified the design in Tinkercad to add a piece that extends under the extruder bracket and prevents it from lifting.
