Remix of Line Arc Line's “Join PTFE Tubes Together Magnetically!” to work on a Printed Solid Next Gen Enclosure. I wanted a way to feed my filament into the enclosure but quickly disconnect it. Helps dealing with feeding filament, change filament, printer removal from enclosure, quick break down when fixing stuff like jams, etc… It's just nicer than feeding a PTFE tube through a big hole.
These were designed to work with my Printed Solid NEXT GEN SAFETY ENCLOSURE FOR PRUSA MINI
Remix Details:
I keep my filament ontop of the enclosure so I wanted to reuse the cable holes in the back. I made this to screw together filling the hole and having magnets which match Line Arc Lines great magnet PTFE connectors.
I use the basic ones, with each color being one polarity, so they connect. Thus, two oppose colors connect and same colors repel.
Additionally, I continue to teach myself modeling and this was my first time designing printable thread and making space for them as well as my first attempt at knurling.
Additional Parts:
For assembly you will need six 5x5mm magnets. I purchased these, but I am sure you can get these from any vendor: https://a.co/d/d00XiL3
Print instructions:
- I recommend printing in PETG or ASA as its part of an enclosure.
- Print top down as defined in the 3MF files and as seen in the photos.
- These models are designed to NOT require supports.
- I used 3 perimeters when printing.
Change Log:
- Posted initial Remix files - aka Version 1
Additional Notes:
- Constructive feedback is welcome. How can do improve the remix (tolerances too tight?)
- I would like to redo the knurling and make it better, but for my first attempt I am happy.
- Anything else to add to a future change list?
