3D printed bowden coupler ender 3

Description

I hate those ptfe fittings.They have chewed my undefended bowden tube to an unrecognizible shape. So I designed this 2 part replacement. The base as a collet that shrinks as the nut screws, pinching the tube. In my experimentation the tube doesn't slip, nor the filament encounters any additional friction. Not only that but makes maintenance a lot easier. Just unscrew and the bowden tube can slip out. Use a 13mm wrench to tight everything up.
