Description

I can't find a PTFE connector that fits my need. Most of them are too thick, too heavy, especially the ones that require a PC4-M10, they are so heavy that it changes how the PTFE tube bending.

 

I want a PTFE connector that's light weight, won't change how the PTFE tube bends, easy to insert and eject.

 

So i made my own PTFE tube connector and share with you. I use it for my dry box, it's working great!

 

Hightlights:

- it's only 0.63g, it's very light, it won't affect the PTFE tube bending shape.

 

- there is a bump on both inside and outside of the connector, the outside bump helps the tube insert and eject.

 

- I print it with PETG 0.2mm standard, no support, no brim. PLA should work fine too.

 

- if it is too small or too big for your PTFE tube, scale the connector to fit your size, try 0.25% increment.

 

There really is no point of using connector with PC4-M10, waste of money and over complicated design. I like simple design that gets the job done. This little connector is very useful, I print many of them and use them for my drybox, i can load and unload filament very quickly.

Perfect! Using Bambu studio, I reduced the diameter to 90% (oops too small) then up to 95%... and it was perfect. For my test prints, I also shortened it so that I could quickly determine if it was the right size for me (using PLA on an A1). After I was satisfied with the diameter, I restore the height... and away we go! Thank you!

Works perfect and fits onto the standard PTFE tube just fine. Was connecting the P1S to a filament dry box, made for a perfect extension, and used a bit of super glue just for some extra security, but works outstanding.

these only fit on one side. probably scaling down would be make it work better.
