Summary

E3D V6 Hotend clone always comes with bowden quick-connect fitting screw-in adapter. This is an issue if you are trying to use it direct drive extruder. Since there's no room for quick-connect adapter in these extruders it has to be unscrewed and short piece of bowden tube inserted into hotened. But it's a problem since there's now nothing to hold PTFE tube straight.
I've searched high and low for adapter, but to my shock there's nothing available.
So I just created a simple one. It screws in using large flat head screwdriver into top of hotend and then you just insert correctly cut PTFE tube...

Mine was printed out of Armadillo filament just because I had it loaded in my printer :)</p></div>
