PC4-M10x1.0 PTFE Tube Connector

by Makers_Design_Journal

I designed this M10x1.0 PTFE Tube Connector for a ø4mm PTFE tube to be able to fit the @suit1337 *Filament Guide Arm M10x1.0-version because the ones I found the hex was to big and obstructed/preventing the connectors to reach the threads in his guide arm and/or the threads were too short. I also have made a M6x1.0 PTFE Tube Connector made to fit the @suit1337 Filament Guide Arm M6x1.0-version. Find it here: [creation pc4-m6x1-0-ptfe-tube-connector] IMPORTANT: I strongly advise not to print these in matte- or silky filament because those filaments have poor layer adhesion.. The newly added a print profile with increased wall loops makes the part nearly solid for better strength (more contact area between each layer). Regarding assembly, I feel like I shouldn't have to point this out, but please use common sense: The clamping nut should thread on easily by hand** - do not use tools like large pliers for unnecessary leverage. Plastic can't handle the same torque compared to metal (also; 3D printed parts aren't as strong as injection moulded plastic parts). Tighten by hand until the PTFE tube stops sliding too much/too easy, use a tool only for a very slight, gentle nudge if necessary. If breakage persists, try printing in PETG for superior layer adhesion compared to PLA. **If the Tube Connector clamping nut is too tight on the Tube Connectors male threaded clamping part - this is a strong indicator that you have not calibrated your printer for the specific filament you're printing with, I then suggest you do a Flow calibration. If you print my connector help me out with feedback on how well it fits (or does´nt fit) Please kindly take a moment to show your support by giving this a LIKE! If you download this it would be really cool to see photos of your make(s). =D *Made to fit - when printed in his specified print settings - the @suit1337 Filament Guide Arm M10x1.0-version for P1P / P1S / X1C found here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/49211-side-filament-guide-arm-fo
