Geoffs PEX Pipe Disconnector - SmarteX/Push-Fit water pipe

thingiverse

I tried the genuine "SmarteX PEX Pipe Disconnect Kit" and, frankly, it was absolute rubbish - just too damn small to get any sort of grip, and you need lots of pressure to disconnect a PEX pipe. My version actually works, without having to resort to pliers/spanners/swearing so you can apply enough force to disconnect the pipe from its fitting. You can easily see the difference/problem in the picture - original in Grey, my working version in Black - any plastic should work, I used PLA (only because it was sitting in my #2 printer), Another 21st century design - "looks pretty - doesn't work". FYI - although Smartex's disconnectors are garbage - their actual Push-Fit Pipe connectors work really well.
