Description

THE PTFE SOCK

PTFE PROTECTOR! If your PTFE tube is wearing down from rubbing the glass this sleeve is for you.

I noticed my PTFE tube was starting to wear down into a nice long flat spot along the top of the tubing as it was rubbing the top glass. The picture shows all of the pieces of rubbed off tubing collected along the underside of the glass.

It was also causing debris to rain down onto the rails and even the bed. I decided to make a simple little sleeve to keep the tube from rubbing the glass and it's easier to just replace the sleeve when it wears out versus replacing the entire length of PTFE tubing from the toolhead back to the coupling.

An added bonus it keep the tube down which helps the angle of the tubing going into the top of the toolhead.

Hope this helps and as always happy printing!

Bed Adhesion Issue:couldn't get them to adhere on my A1 Mini, but printed enough for me to put several together and get the job done.

Thanks for the rating and feedback. If they’re popping off of the bed before finishing you could try upping the bed temp to 60/65 and be sure the pei plate is nice and clean. Hope that helps if you decide to try it again. Thanks 👍🏼

Replying to @HDZ3DWORKS :

thanks for the tip. I wanted to rate it higher, but MakerWorld doesn't allow it if there wasn't a successful print. I will probably try again later and see if it will let me update my rating.

Could give some bed adhesion issues but thats more user issue. Works well and probably one of the only PTFE mods that dont cause printing and retraction issues.
