Flexible Filament Adapter for Mk8 Aluminum Extruder

thingiverse

I upgraded my CR-10 with an aluminum mk8 extruder, giving it a significant upgrade in performance and efficiency. The new extruder creates a large space between its gear and the bowden tube, necessitating a creative solution to bridge the gap effectively. To address this issue, I discovered an innovative adapter that threads directly onto the inside of the hole where the bowden fitting attaches, providing a seamless connection. By installing a pointed piece of PTFE tubing within this part, I successfully spanned the remainder of the gap, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted extrusion throughout the printing process.
