Replaces the top edge plug of the original prusa enclosure to pass through a filament.
Useful if you're using a drybox!
This was inspired by sajay's design, but I didn't want to use a coupler on the top.

This makes changing filament much easier - you don't need to push the coupler to pull out the PTFE tube, yet it is reasonably secured with a snug fit.
How to use
Preparations
- 1x PTFE tube, ideally coming out from a drybox
- 1x PC4-01 (4 mm, Rc1/8) coupler
- (optional) 1x 3 mm drill
- (optional) 1x 4 mm drill
Assembly
- (optional) Use the 4 mm drill to clear the PTFE tube hole, and the 3 mm drill for the rivet hole - you shouldn't need power tools, twist the drill bits with your hand
- Disassemble the default spool holder and PTFE tube holder - keep the PTFE tube
- Screw the coupler into the printed plug as shown in the photo
- Pop the default plug (push the other side of the rivet with the back of your nails) - keep the rivet
- Insert the printed plug and secure with the removed rivet
- Plug the disconnected PTFE tube, it should be like (FS-cover – PTFE tube – printed plug)
Using
- Pull the filament out from the PTFE tube from your drybox, and push it into the cover's hole
- When the printer is ready, push the filament in
- Once the gears are pulling the filament, push the PTFE tube into the hole - it should fit nicely
- When unloading, simply pull the PTFE tube, and you'll have access to the filament (no more fiddling with the coupler!)
