Description

I made a simple inline PTFE connector for PC4-M10 fittings. I wanted something that I could put in between my AMS unit and My Bambu Lab X1C, that way I didn't always have to try and remove the PTFE tube from the printer's buffer unit when servicing the printer or AMS.

It's a super simple yet highly effective design. I modeled it in Fusion 360 and exported it as a STEP file for the best quality while printing. But I also included an STL and 3mf that I exported from Bambu Slicer I printed it at .08 layer height and did use internal tree support to help hold the internal shoulder in place for a better overall print quality.

backed it off to .16 layer height and added a brim and looks great!

Printed well, there is a little bit that catches when initially feeding filament, but that may have been a random defect, and have printed 250g of abs through it now with no breaks or issues.

had some problems to align the tubes correctly so fillament wouldn't slam into the wall of a ptfe tube when transitioning the tubes. printed without any problems

I was just getting ready to sit down and design one of these myself when I found this! And this one is better than what I would have done. Haha. Thanks for this.
