E3D V6 Bowden Clip - Larger

thingiverse

I thought this little clip was a fantastic idea and a brilliant design. I had noticed this issue years ago and cut a slot into a flat washer to make it shaped like a U or like a horseshoe, which worked just fine, but the 3D printed design is a far more refined solution - I feel rather primitive in comparison! However, I use larger fittings and broke the clip while trying to install it. Fortunately, I also have smaller fittings on hand so I could verify the fit. I exclusively use fittings with a wider throat area that allows the 4mm tube to pass right through the fitting, which is essential for my E3D V6 hot ends in both my Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus and XYZ DaVinci Pro 1.0 printers. I'm not sure why this makes a difference, but it did, so here we are - the pictures show the original red clips alongside my remix of orange clips specifically designed for larger fittings. So far, they're working well. Don't forget to secure the other end of the Bowden tube at the extruder as well! I placed 4 clips onto a single brim for an effortless print. I printed these in PLA with .2 layer settings and 25% infill.
