Tube end cap E3D-Toolchanger

prusaprinters

<p>The tube end cap(s) can be used for the spool holders of the E3D Toolchanger. In assembly step <a href="https://e3d-online.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/4402640712337/07_-_Fitting_the_Spool_Holders.pdf"><i>7 - Fitting the spool holders</i></a>, replace the round bars ø8x90mm with steel or aluminium tubes ø8x1mm - 90mm long. Press the tubes into the carriers as described in the manual. The now open tube end can be closed with a tube end cap. They can simply be pressed into the tube end. It is easier if the tube end has been cleanly deburred on the inside and outside after cutting.</p><p>The tube end caps are designed in such a way that they can be printed perfectly with a 0.4 or 0.6 mm nozzle. No support structure is necessary. I recommend an elastic polymer (e.g. PETG) for the application. PLA is less suitable.</p>
