Springless, drop In ToM MK6+ replacement
[www.thingiverse.com]
This one looks easy to cast.
Split it down the center of the filament guide, if you don't want to deal with an insert, or drilling the filament guide.
I would consider using a rubber tube around the shaft of the idler bearing to give it a spring effect.
I wouldn't print/cast the pivot for the idler, use a bolt.
