E3D V6 Clone Direct Drive Adapter Insert

thingiverse

The E3D V6 Hotend clone always arrives with a Bowden quick-connect fitting screw-in adapter. This poses a problem if you're attempting to utilize it with a direct drive extruder, as there's no space for the quick-connect adapter within these machines. Consequently, the adapter must be unscrewed and a short section of bowden tube inserted directly into the hotend. However, this creates an issue since there's now nothing to keep the PTFE tube in alignment. I conducted an extensive search for an available adapter, but I was surprised to find that none existed. Therefore, I created a simple solution. This new adapter screws in using a large flat head screwdriver into the top of the hotend, and then you simply insert a correctly cut PTFE tube.
