PTFE tube push fittings Passtrough adapter for Ikea Lack with M6 , (R) G 1/8" or M10 thread
Description
An adapter for the Ikea Lack table to use push fittings for 4mm PTFE tubes. You need to drill 20mm hole trough the Table. (the adapter have 19mm shaft) With the M10 and the (R) G 1/8" fittings the PTFE tube goes through, which is why the 1/8" and M10 lower part has a stop for the tube. With the M6 fittings, the PTFE tube doesn't go through, so the lower part simply has a 5mm hole so that the filament doesn't get stuck when inserted. The lower parts are dimensionally identical. The only difference is the bore. This means that if you, for example, want the PTFE tube to look further out into the print chamber, you can simply use the M6 lower part and the 1/8" or M10 upper part. I printed all parts with a layer height of 0.2 mm and a 0,1mm horizontal hole extension in cura. I only used support for the upper parts. To screw in the fittings you need a 10mm socket wrench with a maximum external diameter of 14.8mm. To tighten the lower part you can use a 22mm wrench or you can just tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can also print and use the 2in1 tool. Just a little tip: Descriptions often say (for example on Amazon) that the fittings have an M10 thread. But in most cases this is wrong. M10 has an outer diameter of 10mm and a pitch of 1.5mm. The fittings have a (R) G 1/8" thread, almost 10mm on the outside but a pitch of 0.907mm. I don't want to say that the fittings aren't available with larger Metric threads. But so far, in connection with 3D printing, I have only received those that were incorrect in the description. To be sure, you can print the M10 and the (R) G 1/8" test nut and test them. Good Printing !
