e3d Clone Wrench

10/15/2019 0950 Designed and added a a torque assist, printing now 25% gyroid. I switched my MPMD to e3d clones a while ago (current version) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3717404 Previous version https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3641567 The big problem I have been having is heat creep and not being able to retract the filament into the PTFE tube to change colors. I don't want to remove the mount to do a fix so I came up with this. This is a wrench that grabs the PTFE bowden connector, and while holding the heat block I can remove it enough to clear the jam. The e3d Clone bowden connector is a pain to remove. Harder then the threaded bowden connector is removing the PTFE. SO this was designed to slip over the PTFE tube to help remove. I have only tested it with my not-installed e3d clone but I would imagine it should be fine on installed (that was the point of designing it). Do not use on a hot e3d clone. The wrench lock should be printed and fitted/worked, it is not necessary but when testing the PLA+ might bend/flex to much so I came up with that to prevent any flex. The wrench lock goes on the same but needs a rotation (180-degrees for best results).
