tl;dr This is a modified side handle for the CORE One, designed to integrate a PC4-M10 fitting. This allows you to quickly connect PTFE Bowden tubes, e.g. for connecting an external drybox or spool holder.

Using the mod
- To connect a PTFE Bowden tube, simply push it in the PC4-M10 connector. Be sure to push it all the way in until you feel resistance (about 2.5 cm).
- To disconnect, press the black ring on the connector and pull the tube out.
- Feeding the filament into the printer without using a PTFE Bowden tube will also work just fine!
What you need
- PC4-M10 fitting (Amazon.com or Amazon.de)
- 2x M3x8rT screws (from the orignal handle)
Print recommendations
- Print with Prusament PETG Prusa Orange to match the color and sturdiness of the original side handle
- Gyroid infill
- No supports needed
WARNING: Do not install the PC4-M10 fitting before screwing the handle to the printer. Otherwise, you will not be able to because the fitting will cover the screw hole.
Installation instructions
| Remove the original side handle on the right side (including the short PTFE tube) by unscrewing the two M3x8rT screws. | ![]() |
Install the modified side handle by reusing the two M3x8rT screws. Make sure the screw holes align with the holes from the filament sensor on the inside of the printer. | ![]() |
After installing the new handle, you can screw in the PC4-M10 fitting with a M10 wrench - make sure it is angled correctly!
