Description
I wanted to be able to quickly disconnect all the filament feeds to my MMU2 unit. I decided to use these quick release parts from the PTFE tubing I recently purchased and created a coupler to pair them up. It gave me a chance to learn how to use the thread tool in Fusion 360. Stupid simple, but now I have something comfortable to grab to disconnect my printer without a tool. Hope somebody else finds it useful.
Update - I added 2 more STLs for coupling M6 to M6 and M10 to M10 quick release connectors so you can use whatever connectors you have around.
I printed this at .15 layer height in PETG. I also used a couple thread tappers to clean up the print. Went together smoothly. This uses both 10mmx1 and 6mmx1 threading on either side.
