mY Filament Splitter

My filament splitter, hence the name :)

I wanted something smaller and light weight, and more robust than the experience I've had with other more famous splitters. My version keeps the filament path totally straight for the AMS to print head route, meaning less chance of snagging and less wear and tear for the most used (imo) operation.

Externally fed filament is fed through the hole on the side, one less connector makes the model more sleek and I really dont think its needed.

Requires 2 x PC4 M10 pneumatic connectors

Printing

The included 3mf file is setup ready to print @ 0.12 layer height with a tiny amount of supports for the hole which will be on the outgoing feed side. Supports are on build plate only.

I've printed 6 or 7 of these now and had zero adhesion issues. With it being a small model the minimum layer time will naturally slow the print speed down which will also help here.

Ignore the soon-to-be-added profiles promising faster print times, you want quality for this part to print well.

Fitting

Remove the tiny support material and fit 2 PC4-M10 connectors

Make sure the PTFE tubing is pushed fully through the connector and into the internal recess.

Attach to printer, note direction arrow for correct fitting.
