Description
Based on the original model of the Prusa MK3s+ (probably all MK3) right hand side Z covers and the magnetic PTFE coupler from Line Arc Line.
As I have a magnetically coupled bowden setup on the extruder, which was feeding to a fixed M10 adapter on the right upper end of the Z axis, I wanted to be able to quickly decouple both ends of the bowden tube. This should fix that.
I used the original coupler model, removed the threading for the M10 coupler (because I want to feed the filament directly), joined the model to the original printed part of the printer and made the model look a bit more cohesive. The one on the photos is my first iteration but I made two others - “edgy” and “blocky”. Functionally identical, it's just the design.
The Parts are designed and tested on my MK3s+, but as there are no Z holders in the BOM for the upgrade from MK3 and MK3s, I'd assume it works there just as well.
There are multiple versions of the original coupler. This will only fit with the “vanilla” version (no innie/outie) with three magnets!
