Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience and the final result. Looks amazing! 🤩
Worked perfectly, easy to print and easy to put together.
i drilled the hole a bit bigger and just ran the line straight through it and just used it as a guide and holder for the tube.
I've put mine at the back of the printer so that I can feed it from the other side, works perfect for my usecase.
Interesting design that allows me to use the side spool holder and the back spool holder.
I found it a bit tricky to glue together. I actually needed to print it twice.
I've decided to not run the PTFE tube directly into it as the filament would catch on the edge within the assembly every time I changed filament.
@brunoh_1921205 thank you for sharing your work ;).
I have printed all the pieces in PETG at 0,08 scaling to 100,38% except for "LID_RISER_K1C_PTFE_GUIDE_2_V2" which I have left with its original size. It has an extraordinarily smooth movement.
Fantastic design. Thank you very much for your work. Would a version with "360º" movement be possible? I would like it to have wider movement. Thanks again.

@LEO_app Don't doubt that I will give you my feedback. Thanks again.
@LEO_app Hi, I have already printed it, it works perfect giving a few extra millimetres to the filament tube, now I can have the ideal angle for my rear and side roll holder without the filament being forced too much. I have printed all the pieces in PETG at 0,08 scaling to 100,38% except for "LID_RISER_K1C_PTFE_GUIDE_2_V2" which I have left with its original size. It has an extraordinarily smooth movement. Thank you very much for your work, your improvements are amazing. (edited)
Tried out this cheap ABS brand I bought for 13.99 (on amazon its called "Peakace") brim took part of the first layer and used acetone to weld the pieces together, may look a little sloppy but it works. (edited)

@Nerd2_294712 Naw all good, woulda been cool actually lol. And that's actually the easiest source I've found with no issues as well. Picked up 2x 16oz from my employer's retail side for about 8 USD before my employee discounts, and was basically "100%" acetone, with just that added denatonium benzoate bitterant. Plus much easier to store plastic bottles instead of an odd sized metallic can lmao
@skriglitz_1206452 The odd size metal can is one of the r easons why I looked for another source. since I was reusing glass food jars, the sealing would break down from the acetone fumes, and I cut takis plastic lid to size from pringles style looking container since the plastic is polypropylene and have that as a liner instead.
Had to add this awesome guide to my K1C while I added the V2 Lid Riser. Even printed out of ABS used for printing the riser so I could skip the glue and weld it with some sweet sweet acetone 😛
@skriglitz_1206452 looking great!!! Now I know what material you used ;). I like it!! (edited)

@FernangeloCa_1220390 you’re welcome! Thank you for your kind words. We only get better at what we do when we share our experiences. I wish you the best! ;)
Just added the guides and the 50mm V2 risers to the twins. My two K1s. Great additions to them.
