An elongate object guiding device is provided with a protective guiding portion, guide rails, rollers, and magnets. The guide rails have magnetic guide surfaces that guide the protective guiding portion when the protective guiding portion reciprocates in a longitudinal direction while forming a cured part. The rollers are provided on the protective guiding portion, and are disposed in such a way as to be capable of rolling along the guide surfaces. The magnets are provided on the protective guiding portion in such a way as not to come into contact with the guide rails, and cause a magnetic force to act on the guide surfaces in such a way as to maintain a state of contact between the rollers and the guide surfaces.
