Flexible Filament Extruder Upgrade for Creality #3DPrinting #3DThursday

3djpco shared this project on Thingiverse!

A modified version of the model from joshvv, which includes a zip tie eyelet for cable management, extended lip for better spring leverage, and an extended hole that allows PTFE tube to sit flush with the PTFE coupler.

The pictures provided show the model printed in PETG. For structural prints, I usually print with 6 walls and 100% infill. Use supports everywhere but use support blockers in the area where the PTFE tube and the coupler is inserted.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
