E3D V6 Bowden Clip - Larger
Description
I thought this little clip was a great idea and a great design. I noticed this problem years ago and I cut a slot into a flat washer to make it shaped like a U or like a horseshoe. This works, but the 3d printed design is a much more elegant solution. I feel like a cave man by comparison. Haha However, I use larger fittings and I broke the clip trying to install it. I have the smaller fittings also so I was able to verify the fit. I use these fittings that have a larger throat area that will let the 4mm tube pass right through the fitting. I use these on my E3D V6 hot ends that I have in my Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus and in my XYZ DaVinci Pro 1.0. I don't know why this makes a difference. You would think a 4mm tube is a 4mm tube, regardless of what the other end looks like. But it did so here we are. See the pictures, the red clips are the originals and the orange clips are my remix for the larger fittings. Working well, so far so good. Don't forget the other end of the bowden tube, at the extruder. I put 4 clips onto a common brim for an easy print. Printed in PLA .2 layer 25% infill
