A PTFE magnetic connector for your AMS Lite.
For those who connecting using PTFE tube between AMS Lite and Drybox / Dryer.
To easy the filament loading to AMS Lite, often we need to connect and disconnect PTFE adaptor on the AMS Lite (only if you are using).
Most design out there are using PC4-M10 or PC4-M6 connector and it will eventually cut the PTFE tube due to frequence of the connecting/disconnecting for filament loading/unloading.
Additionally, I have test most of the printed PTFE adaptor for AMS Lite, the single piece design tendency to give way due to design wasn't robust enough.

Here is the idea, a quick PTFE connector with a robust locking to AMS Lite can be fully printed out from your printer using PETG (PLA is possible). 

You will need 4 pcs of N52 Magnet with diameter 10mm x 2mm thick.

Please take note, profile set to Pause at layer no.18 for you to insert the magnet.
2 magnets each for:
1) PTFE tube connector 
2) Connector side on the AMS-Lite.
The polarity of the magnets for (1) and (2) must be opposite to each other.
If you are using the same magnet design for the Dryer/Drybox - just make sure PTFE tube connector is having same magnet polarity.


----------------------------------------
For the DIY Drybox or Dryer, I will upload later the compatible PTFE magnetic connector as well.
