M6x1 PTFE Coupler

thingiverse

This is a versatile adapter coupler for PTFE that comes with and without a built-in filament guide.\r\n\r\nAfter upgrading my Anet A8 to an E3D with a Bowden-style extruder, I encountered difficulties loading the filament due to the significant gap between the extruder feeders and where the PTFE adapter screws into the extruder. Also, I wanted to print flexible filaments and with the large gap, it caused jamming.\r\n\r\nOn a secondary note, I aimed to design some threads, both internal and external\r\n\r\nAnetA8_M6_PTFE_Coupler_Guide.stl is an advanced parametric filament guide that enables the PTFE adapter to screw into it. You may need to drill out the inner diameter of the filament guide post after printing.\r\n\r\nIf you have doubts about a printed filament guide, you can opt for the other alternative.\r\n\r\nAnetA8_M6_PTFE_Coupler.stl utilizes the standard Anet M6 throat and nut and couples to the PTFE adapter.
