    I added this wire loop because the filament kept falling off the guide. The filament rides nicely in the notch at the bottom.

    I haven't had any issues after adding this.

    Yes. I got the idea for the material to use from yours. I originally was going to make just a V channel but found it easier to do a oval with a V notch at the bottom.

    How is yours working?

    Seems like the Filastruder just needs a better guide than it comes with.

    I haven't used it much, I'm waiting for my printer before I extrude too much, but it seemed to work alright, the filament had a nice smooth edge to slide up(that's whey I did it like a noose). I just need to drill another hole further up since I just stuck it in a hole from a screw and it's a little too far forward.
