Ultimaker Quick Connect Shim

By utilizing the Ultimaker's quick connect on the extruder, there's noticeable play. A shim, fitting onto the quick connect, effectively eliminates this issue.

To fix the problem, print the shim, pull the bowden tube up from the extruder to create space between quick connect pieces, and insert the clip around the inner piece (refer to image). If you need to remove the bowden from the quick connect later on, remember to first remove the shim.
