I recently downloaded and made the Quick Connect. That inspired me to make the Magnetic Quick Connect.
While working with those I finally got fed up with trying to man handle PTFE tubing. It's to slippery and if a fitting is snug or there is filament in the tube, it's almost impossible to grip well enough to do what you need to without risking damaging the tube.
So I made this little tool to help get a good and mechanically safe grip on PTFE tubing.
I printed at 1mm layer height with Sunlu PETG, with a brim and 3 walls. Separate into parts to be able to make the supports a different material.
I probably should have slowed it down a bit, but didn't want to, i can imagine this having some weakness due to orientation either way.
The model has built in supports for the hinge spacing that are printed in PLA. They can be removed after print, but i did not really find it necessary to do so, though I did with a plastic pick.
