Pace Tubing Connector

Connects 7/32" (~5.5mm) I.D. vinyl tubing to Pace soldering station.

I have no idea where this tubing came from, but I had it on hand and I needed to connect it to my Pace solering station. It had a larger inner diameter (I.D.) than the tubing that came with the station, so I could not use the provided connectors. It actually took longer to print than it did to whip up the 3D model in FreeCAD.

NOTE
I did eventually snap my first connector because of the print orientation. So I reprinted it on its side. I allowed my slicer to add supports everywhere, knowing it would fill the tube. But to my surprise, I was able to grab the filler with a pair of tweezer and pull it right out!
