Description

I was getting issues right out of the box of my X1C not being able to retract the filament after a print or being able to feed it past the AMS buffer. I found the issue to exist because the ptfe tube into the buffer was not very straight. After trying a few different designs I founf online, the issue was not fixed. I designed this part to be a simple fix to this issue. It uses six 6x3 mm magnets to hold onto the back panel. I made it like this so it could be adjusted and tweaked to the perfect angle. So far not a single issue like before and the magnets hold perfectly. Hopefully it can help other people.
