Description
UPGRADE
Sometimes it could be hard to grip the shaft on the disconnector.
So here is one with a handle..... Ta da!
also with a hole so you can hang it up and find where you left it...!
some machines have a really tight pneumatic fitting for the filament Bowden tube.
I made this to assist in pushing down the spring nubbin that holds in the tube.
just push up against the tube and use downward movement to depress the clamping
mechanism.
if you have some bent nose pliers you can use them as a lever, this will allow you to apply downward pressure on the nubbin while gripping and pulling up the tube!
there is a picture above!
I have a new printer and it has fatter bowden tubes ,so I thought some people might also have bigger tubes.
here is also a disconnector for a 6.3mm diameter bowden tube ...
