Direct Driver extruder Bowden hose upgrade

thingiverse

I decided to replace my Jhead with a chimera dual extruder, prompting me to look into an attachment upgrade for the bowden tube on my Prusa i3. Since I prefer metal parts due to their direct drive, I designed a new attachment that secures directly onto two screws of the drive and creates a convenient attachment point for the bowden tube. The bowden tube can be positioned precisely in front of the extruder gear's pre-drilled holes, preventing bending of filament from unguided pressure. While it's possible that this design might work with flexible filament, I haven't had the chance to test it yet as I don't have any available. If anyone has experimented with flexible filament using this attachment, please share your results so we can benefit from your experience.
