Description
I used the stl model “mmu2-rear-PTFE-holder” (Electronics & Assembly) from @Prusa3D. I added holes for Push-To-Connect fittings so the filament can be removed easily without going through the whole tube. There are photos of most steps in the process.
In it's current state, clearing a bad filament tip from an MMU2S gets rather cumbersome. To pull the filament back from the MMU and cut the end, the filament has to go all the way back through the PTFE tube. Although there are many others who have made their own designs for the same, I chose to model up my own version to confirm a minimized amount of materials and prevent the need for supports.
