3D Chameleon Direct Drive Extruder Support

thingiverse

I have been having a lot of issues with getting my filament to feed all the way through end the Y Adapter on the 3Dchameleon Mk2. I had try moving the Y Adapter to different sides and angles to no avail. I even swapped to a direct drive assembly in a futile attempt to solve my dilemma. Alas the only thing I could think of was that the adapter needs support to maintain the rigidity of the PTFE tube going from the Adapter into the Extruder. So away to TinkerCAD I went and designed this to fit atop and between the Extruder and the Y Axis Carriage for the direct drive assembly. It is designed so that the neck of the Y Adapter will fit in support and you can place a ziptie through the slots and around it, snug but lose enough so the Y Adapter can rotate as the Carriage moves to alleviate any additional tension on the PTFE tubing above. I printed it on its side so that the layering is the strongest against where it is being pulley by the Y-Adapter and with tree supports, pictured above.
