Prusa Core One Side Panel Bowden (PTFE Tube) Guide (INDX ready)

This is a simple magnetic attachment to the Core One for Bowden (PTFE Tube) runs.

This mod is in prep for getting my INDX founders edition. I don't want to side mount my spools for a number of reasons so bought a Creality Space Pi X4 to hold 4 spools. To tidy up the tubing runs from it I designed this simple mod which magnetically attaches to the side of the printer.

Print Settings

I printed this in Prusament Orange PETG using stock settings

• 0.4 Nozzle

• 0.2 Layer height

• Infill of 15%

• Prusa slicer structural present, no changes

• No supports or brim needed if printed in the recommended orientation (see image below)

• To note:

  • The pneumatic coupler holes are treaded (M10 and M6) so I recommend keeping to the structural present and low layer height for a smooth tread

  • The below image shows the recommended print orientation, with the Bowden runs facing upwards.

  • The holes for the 6x3mm magnets are printed as hexagons (vs circles) for improved tolerances when printing vertically. Magnets should fit snuggly will just a little force

  • I chose 6x3mm as I had a load to hand. These are commonly used for Gridfinity but if anyone would like to me design this for other magnet sizes leave a comment
