Boden Tube Guide – Ender 5 – Factory Bolt

This is a piece I’ve designed to bolt onto the Creality Ender 5 3D printer above the extruder motor, using the factory bolt.

I noticed during printing that the long boden tube on this machine would bend quite near the extruder motor. This piece should help keep the tube fairly straight in that area and prevent any extra strain on the filament movement. The clip is also large enough to accomidate the hot end wires for cable management.

Remove the left-most factory bolt and washer from the bracket above the extruder motor. Place the bolt with washer through the opening and into the recess on the printed piece, and hand tighten the bolt back into place on the machine. Arrange the boden tube and cable into the clip to keep the boden tube as straight as possible.

• A future version may extend the clip portion to the left a few mm.
