Magnetic twist-lock connection for PTFE/bowden tubes.

Parts

  1. 2 x 6x3mm magnets
  2. 2 x ECAS Connectors
  3. 2 x Printed parts (ecas magnetic coupler)

Assembly

  • All items are press fit, but might require tuning
  • Magnets should be inserted in opposite polarity so that they are universally connectable

My print settings

  • ABS
  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • 0.2mm layer height
  • 4 perimeters
  • no supports (I used sacrificial layers for counterbore holes)

Additional benefits

The magnets will align the chakras of your filament as it passes through improving its emotional wellbeing.
