Anet A8 Bowden Tube Filament Upgrade

thingiverse

I have had prints fail from filament snags. Most of these issues happen, because the filament roll gets too much stress from the back-and forth action of the extrusion head. To attempt to fix these problems I wanted to try using a Bowden tube to keep the motion of the filament to a minimum. I have included a connector for brass connectors (with and without chain connection). I also have a female - female port to connect to the printers frame. I eventually want to have tube going from the filament rolls in my dehydrator, to the print heads on my printers. EDIT 1 year later... One of my printers' had an issue with the top part of the bowden holder falling off, and instead of just printing it again, I made a beefed up version to print so it wont happen again. So I made a beefed up version of my favorite of these files. I do print a lot of ABS so the parts get warm.
