Description
Prusa screwed up bad with their PTFE conectors - they are unobtanium, along with brass olives that you CAN'T even order from them.
So I modified greatest thing ever made by Ondřej Kotas on thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/krtektm/designs) to fit 8x1.25mm threat. Now you can use any PTFE tube freely without problems!
Recommended to print it in 0.15mm layer, 3 or 4 perimeters and 100% infill.
Use strongest material you have, Im using PETG right now, PLA will still work as stopgap without much issues.
edit:
Added hotend version winch is higher by a few mm to allow tightening. Alternative is printing out different fan spacer (attached .stl too) winch would allow you to use normal body part.
