Description
CR-6 SE Top Mount Filament Guide
Purpose
This model is a filament guide designed to resolve issues with filament movement, specifically addressing scratchy noises caused by how filament enters the runout sensor. It provides a mounting point for Bowden tubing to create a smoother path from a top-mounted spool holder to the printer.
Practical Uses
While specifically designed for the Creality CR-6 SE, the author suggests it may be compatible with any printer featuring a 20mm extrusion on the top beam. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a top-mount spool holder and a snap-on guide for the runout sensor.

<p>The filament on my printer was making some weird scratchy noises when it was printing and I pinpointed the problem down to when it was entering the runout sensor. I found a snap on guide for the runout sensor so I could attach a bowden fitting but wasn't able to find a suitable mount for the other end. This was my solution. It was specifically designed for my CR6, but I guess it would probably fit any printer with a 20mm extrusion on the top beam.</p><p>Extra bits you will need - 2 x M4 * 10mm screws, and 2 x M4 tee nuts. 2 x PC4 M6 Bowden tube coupler and Bowden tube</p><p>You can probably use any top mount spool holder the one I use I found on thingiverse <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6426468">here</a>.</p><p>The snap on guide for the runout sensor is <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4617010">here</a>.</p>
