Teflon Tube to Festo Harness Mainly For MMU2.0

thingiverse

I didn't care for the idea of using a super long 640mm teflon tube directly attached to the MMU2 unit where it's nearly impossible to service and troubleshoot with that length. I took one of my spare teflon tubes, cut it short by about 100mm, and attached it to the mmu2 fastener at the back. It was tough to get all five of them held in place, and now I'm not even sure if I want to reopen and re-seat the teflon tube again - I almost poked my eye several times due to its shorter length. It worked out okay with my overhead PVC pipe spool holder, except that it's way higher than the teflon/mmu2. This should serve as a tube extender/adapter. If you've fitted in a shorter teflon tube and don't want to go through the hassle of re-seating the teflon again, print the festo fastener - it should work with or without festo screwed in, unless you want to connect to a longer teflon tube, put festo there. You'll need a set of screws and nylon nuts to clamp the teflon in place. If you're looking for a cleaner build, print the larger plate that's designed for the mmu2 teflon side, modified to have slots for festo. This version hasn't been tested yet, but theoretically you should be able to re-seat the teflon tube inside without undoing almost all of the screws - except this thing will be held in place by the festo instead of relying on manual handling. The festo used for these models are 6mm thread type and M3 screws. For my setup, these are meant to be paired with https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3225814
