Voron Afterburner see-trough low profile side dual bowden Y-Splitter with quickdisconnect
Update: V2 with embedded magnets and core Y-Splitter printed separately.
The switchwire Y-Splitter bowden design for the Afterburner didn't do it for my personnal setup, as I was lacking clearance above my modded Ender5+. I did a previous Y-Splitter with outputs on the back, but I changed my spools positions to the front for easier access and hence needed to de a rework. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4836168)
This splitter will be much easier to print than my previous design.
I've included STLs for a dual color print. The idea is to use translucent filament for the core of the Y-Splitter with 100% infill, or to print with SLA in clear resin, in order to be able to have a visual check of the splitter status. Quick fan removal is possible due to my quickdisconnect design. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4832526)
This design may not suit a classic voron 2 design, with a Z moving gantry, but may stil be of use for other Creality users or Voron 1 users.
The rear part is the standard bowden rear part as on the Voron Github.
You may require some slight supports for the middle part's cut-out for the extruder cable management.
