BMG Clone Internal Coupler Fix

thingiverse

I recently purchased a BondTech BMG Clone off Amazon. After 3 weeks of continuous use, the internal PTFE coupler failed and would not hold the capricorn tubing in place. So I made this part to convert the internal coupler design to a external one, to use a M6x1.00 PTFE Coupler I had laying around. The new coupler is designed to be a push fit design in place of the original coupler. I also suggest using some form of adhesive, I personally do not and it has not pushed out once. To remove the original internal coupler, I used some side cutters to get beneath the protruding part and slowly pried around it until it popped out. It is press fit into the clone. To install the new part, simply find a flat surface (or fingers) and push it into the hole as square as possible. While threading the new M6x1.00 coupler, I highly suggest doing it by hand a few times to clean out the threads and then proceed to give a slight snug, as you can easily break the threads due to them just being plastic.
