Bowden Tube Fitting Accessories

thingiverse

This is a little something I thought may be useful. The highlight is the simple knurl wrench for the Bowden tube fitting. Most of these fittings are 10mm hex and many have a plastic head no bigger than this. The second item is the tube extractor. This can double as the wrench but are meant to help eject the tube from the fitting. If you push down on the extractor, the tube should be released so the tube can be removed from the fitting. This also works in reverse if there is insufficient room to slip the extractor over the fitting. The third item is a simple tube joiner. Say you run out of the long tube you need and have a couple of short pieces lying around. Here you go. Just put fittings on both ends and you have a newly extended tube.
