Description
This is a simple jig to drill through the plexiglass on the back of the Original Prusa Enclosure and pop out the 5 PTFE tubes of the MMU3. It should work for any PTFE tube with 4mm OD.
It must be screwed to the outside of the enclosure with M3 screws and nuts in two points, one on the plexiglass and one on the hole already present in the metal structure of the enclosure. I suggest using o-ring gaskets between the nuts and the plexiglass to avoid damaging it or tightening it too much.
After drilling the holes, you can leave the jig in place, to reduce the tension on the glass caused by the PTFE tubes.
I've been using this item for a while in my MMU3 setup visible in the attached photos, together with the Silent Auto-Rewinding Gravity Spoolholder by @djglaze_79850, and I haven't encountered any problems.
