PTFE tube swivel clip · for P2S / X2D

A three-part PTFE tube guide clip that clamps to the end of the toolhead drag chain and ducks the tubes down and away from the top glass on a Bambu P2S or X2D. The swivel head is a print-in-place hinge and the bottom piece clips on. No hardware required.

I designed this after an 11-hour print nearly failed because a different guide solution didn't hold reliably across the full range of toolhead motion.

⚠️ Warning — handling. When removing the clip from the print bed and during installation, take care not to break the lateral retaining arms. They're the thin tabs that stop the clip sliding along the chain.

How it works

Main body — clips down onto a link of the toolhead drag chain. Lateral arms keep it from sliding.
Swivel head — holds the two PTFE tubes and pivots with the toolhead's motion. Print-in-place inside the main body, so it leaves the plate already assembled.
Bottom locking piece — snaps up from below to lock the body to the chain. The v3 piece is angled inward for stronger retention.

Fit notes & materials

Printed and fit-tested in PLA, PETG, and ABS. The ABS version is scaled to 101% to account for shrinkage — the PLA and PETG versions print at native size.

Fit may still vary with your printer, your specific filament, chamber temperature, and slicer settings. Check the fit carefully before running long prints. The clip should hold securely without pinching the PTFE tubes or restricting toolhead movement. After installation, manually move the toolhead through its full range and confirm the tubes move freely and doesn't bind.

Print profile

Printer: Bambu Lab X2D
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Layer height: 0.20 mm
Walls: 2
Top / bottom: slicer default
Infill: 15%
Supports: on
Print time: ≈ 13 min
Filament: ≈ 2 g

Two parts come off the plate: the main body (with the swivel head captive inside as a print-in-place hinge) and the bottom locking piece. No hardware required — the bottom piece snaps into the body to lock the assembly to the chain.

Version history

v3 — bottom locking piece is now angled inward for stronger retention
v2 — added lateral retaining arms to stop the clip moving along the chain
v1 — initial release

Best clips hands down! Others come disconnected or slide off. Ended up replacing all the factory ones. The swivel feature makes the difference I believe. Printed ABS on X2D

Whoa that's amazing. Let me know how it holds up!

ABS v3

The best solution i've seen so far to prevent the PTFE-Tube from rubbing against the top and the right edge. Printed and installed on a P2S, works perfectly. I'm a fan! I installed it on the 5th chainlink of the energychain (counting starts from the first chainlink at the extruder).

Thanks for the kind words! I have mine on the 4th chainlink but should probably test to see best placement.

I just watched my printer for a while now and 4th chainlink might actually be better. But im not sure yet, need to see more. When i find the best placement on my p2s i let you know, you could include placement instructions in the discription of this modell.

After a total of 50 hours of operation, it has become clear that the 5th chain link on the P2S represents the best compromise, in my opinion, between distance to the glass and no rubbing of the tube on the right edge of the housing. It was also noticed that the joint of the clip becomes somewhat loose over time and then begins to tilt upwards. Perhaps an adjustment of the tolerances on the joint will help to counteract this.

Great idea, but for me it creates feeding issues. AMS 2 Pro is unable to push the filament near the toolhead. Seems as the clip pins the ptfe too hard down or something.

The designer has replied

@mythical_turtle

That's odd. Which chainlink number (from the toolhead side) did you mount the clip on? If you could share a picture, I'll see if the clip can be redesigned.

@krulaks

Replying to @mythical_turtle :

Issue went away after some prints, which is weird, but I noticed another problem. The teflon/protective tape gets completely wrecked by the swivel. Sometimes it doesn’t position by the "slide" end and just smacks into the side of the printer by it's side.

@mythical_turtle

Replying to @krulaks :

Yes, I noticed this too -- it's a bit random depending on the approach angle/previous positions. I'll think of some ways to improve this in the next version. Thanks for the feedback!

Printed in PETG and the profile worked a treat! Snapped on perfectly into place.

at the moment they are the best, the glass must still be thick to have an excellent result. the system helps the tube to be guided during printing by keeping it away from the glass but the most important thing is better than this solution... that when it goes towards the wall of the printer (we know the defect found on the p2s and x2d) it helps it to slide under the sheet metal of the printer wall, moreover by turning it adapts to the movements! top

Love that you noticed the clip sliding under the sheet metal! That is exactly what I was aiming to do. Thanks for the boost :)

Hello is this valid for the P1s?

The designer has replied

Show original

@mythical_turtle

According to Google, the P1S uses a different SKU for the chain so it probably wouldn't work as-is. It would take some trial and error but you can try to scale the model along the 3 axes independently to make it fit.
