PC4-M6x1.0 PTFE Tube Connector

I designed this M6x1.0 PTFE Tube Connector for a ø4mm PTFE tube to be able to fit the @suit1337 *Filament Guide Arm M6x1.0-version because the ones I found the hex was to big and obstructed/preventing the connectors to reach the threads in his guide arm and/or the threads were too short.

IMPORTANT:
I strongly advise not to print these in matte- or silky filament because those filaments have poor layer adhesion.. Print with 3 walls loops (makes for basically a solid part), thís makes the part nearly solid for better strength (more contact area between each layer).

Regarding assembly, I feel like I shouldn't have to point this out, but please use common sense: The clamping nut should thread on easily by hand** - do not use tools like large pliers for unnecessary leverage. Plastic can't handle the same torque compared to metal (also; 3D printed parts aren't as strong as injection moulded plastic parts). Tighten by hand until the PTFE tube stops sliding too much/too easy, use a tool only for a very slight, gentle nudge if necessary. If breakage persists, try printing in PETG for superior layer adhesion compared to PLA.

**If the Tube Connector clamping nut is too tight on the Tube Connectors male threaded clamping part - this is a strong indicator that you have not calibrated your printer for the specific filament you're printing with, I then suggest you do a Flow calibration.

If you print my connector help me out with feedback on how well it fits (or doesnt fit)
