Common MK8/MK10 extruder users often encounter problems using flex filament due to fixed spring tension and backlash in Teflon tubes when utilizing FESTO systems. This design addresses these issues by allowing either M4 nuts or 5.5-6.0mm holes to secure the Teflon tubes for input/output connections, including FESTO use. An additional cover is provided on the output side to facilitate quick removal of the Teflon tube connected to the hotend during maintenance or disassembly. The spring tension is adjustable using an M4 x 12 screw and an M4 nut trap, requiring a hex key for adjustment. Note that the attached picture has been mirrored due to orientation. The included mount features 60mm center-to-center spacing between holes. I personally tested multiple variants of this design, settling on one that meets my requirements where the motor gear can push filament into the output Teflon tube without user intervention.
