When loading filament into a Prusa XL Nextruder, depending on the bend in the reverse bowden tube the filament sometimes catches on the fitting at the inlet. Sometimes it can be pushed past, but sometimes you have to pull out the bowden tube and guide the filament directly into the fitting. 

This little clip solves the issue by reinforcing the bowden tube a few mm above the inlet fiting to allow for a straight entry point directly into the extruder.
It requires no tools or modifications to the Nextruder and simply clips on and off if you do need to remove the bowden tube from the inlet fitting. 

Recommend printing in PETG at a minimum or ABS if the XL has an enclosure. 

(I will try to remember to come back and upload the picture of it attached to the printer, my XL is currently running and I do not have a picture handy)
