Push Fit Base for Geared Bowden MK8 Extruder

thingiverse

I had numerous issues with the original base of this extruder where the Bowden tube kept coming loose during filament extrusion and I was forced to glue the tube repeatedly. But even that solution didn't last long. So, I created this remix where you can use a push fit for your Bowden tube outlet, making it much easier to assemble. Push Fit: The diameter is 10mm and I sourced my push fit from E3D. If yours is smaller, let me know and I can modify the files accordingly. About Different Versions: There are two versions of the file available. The first one is what I'm currently using and have tested to work well. The second one is the "Gap for Idler" version. In the first version, after assembly, I noticed that the idler kept scratching the new push fit slot. So, I sanded the idler a bit, and everything worked fine. I created the second version today, which should resolve this problem and eliminate the need to sand the idler. However, it has not been tested yet. I don't think there would be any major issues with it since it's just a minor modification.
