I wanted to be able to print nylon filament directly from my SpacePi, but the filament would have needed to make way too sharp of a curve. By adding this small adapter I am able to run some capricorn tubing directly from the SpacePi to my Plus4. This prevents kinking while also ensuring I can have the filament in the dryer during a print.

 

Made with what I had on hand. Minor modifications to the SpacePi enclosure needed; just a single hole in the curved face to thread some PTFE tubing. Super easy to print. 

 

Grooves line up with the ones on the curved surface of the SpacePi. The hole is likely too small for standard m6 PTFE tube couplers, but feel free to modify as needed. I only had some random plastic coupler thing but it works great so far! Just fix it in place with some 3M double sided foam tape and run the tubing.
