Description
Simple 3D printable tube to replace a cracked plunger tube on an X-Shot Longshot. I recommend printing this with Orca slicer and scarf seams enabled to get the best inside surface finish. Attached .stl file and a .3mf file for use in Orca slicer. The 3MF file is set up for my Prusa Mini and worked perfectly with a great inside finish.
The inside diameter is a bit smaller than stock at 39.5mm and has 1.8mm thick walls. Recommend at minimum coating the inside of the tube in a thin layer of grease, I used SuperLube, but anything plastic safe is probably fine. Also, sanding the interior walls for a smoother finish would be beneficial, however I didn't do this and it works fine.
