<h3>The most <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(5,5,5);">effective, ergonomic and easy-to-use PTFE release tool for the A1 – the EZ A1 PTFE Release Tool!</span></h3><p><strong>*** For best results, please see Tips for Success section ***</strong></p><h3>If you find that this tools works great for you, pls hit that BOOST button!</h3><h3>PROBLEM</h3><p>PTFE tubes on the A1 AMS Lite hub is difficult to remove. Per the Bambu wiki, one has to press down the locking ring with a tweezer in order to remove the PTFE tube. I find it too fiddly and I&#39;m afraid that constantly doing so will eventually cause the gantry to sag and affect alignment.</p><h3>SOLUTION</h3><p>Design an ergonomic tool that will allow easy release of the tube without pressing the entire hub down using only one hand while allowing the other hand free to pull the PTFE tube.</p><h3>FEATURES</h3><ul><li><strong>Stable and efficient </strong>- less prone to errors as tool attaches to the hub preventing accidental sliding</li><li><strong>Easy to use</strong> - Designed with the best user experience in mind! Operate the tool comfortably and naturally by squeezing the thumb and index fingers together</li><li><strong>Less damaging to the printer</strong> - during operation of the tool, stress is limited to the filament hub only and not to the entire gantry</li></ul><h3>PRINTING DIRECTIONS</h3><ul><li>Choose between the <strong>default profile</strong> (better print quality) or the <strong>vertically-oriented profile</strong> (recommended for smoother operation) which makes the layers on the thumb press perpendicular to the layers of the clamp part which allows for smoother sliding action.</li><li>Use <strong>rigid filaments</strong> such as regular PLA, PLA+, ASA, ABS, etc. <strong>DO NOT USE matte or silk PLA</strong> as these filaments are soft and do not provide strong layer adhesion.</li><li>Print as oriented.</li><li>Comes with built-in supports. No need to turn on supports.</li></ul><h3>TIPS FOR SUCCESS</h3><ol><li>If you find the tubes still very hard to pull out, <strong>try pressing the tube down slightly</strong> to allow the metal locking teeth to release before pulling the tube out.</li><li>Make sure that you have the thumb press <strong>aligned in the corner and that it&#39;s pressing only one ring at a time</strong>. Otherwise, if it&#39;s hitting other rings, you might not be pressing the ring down enough.</li></ol><h3>HOW TO USE</h3><p><strong>IMPORTANT: Tool is not meant to be permanently attached to the printhead</strong> as it will prevent filament tangle detection to work. Remove the tool after use.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000392785/design/2024-04-27_283930b7afd63.png"></figure><h3> </h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Print out this automata kit to assemble your very own infinitely looping marble run!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This automata converts rotational energy into vertical energy that uses gravity to push marbles <i>up</i>! The entire model doesn't need supports and is very easy to print. It's been tested and developed with Bambu PLA Basic/Matte and Sunlu PLA+. The marbles used are 10mm ball bearings (the same as Hextraction). The profile also includes some marbles that you can print (already set to 100% infill for the marbles only).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here's a render of how the automata kit is put together:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/143317/2023-11-03_6ae80076ff3b8.png"></figure><p>The cams (tear drop shaped parts) have an arrow to show which way you turn them to twist-and-lock them onto the main axle. The cams should alternate the direction the arrows on them are facing to match up with the render above. Take a look below:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/143317/2023-11-03_2a7a70095305b.png"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/143317/2023-11-03_7ca5be748f5e6.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy the automata and let me know if you have any ideas for new ones!</p>
