I was looking for a solution to organize the Bowden tubes at the back of my Voron printers to feed the ERCF system. My goal was to keep the tubes neatly arranged and securely mounted to the 2020 profiles, the panels, and my shelf. To achieve this, I designed parts that fit perfectly into the 2020 profiles and others that can be attached to flat surfaces using 20 mm VHB tape.

The Parts for the 2020 Versions can be mounted with a m3 hammer-nuts and m3x8 screws.

I aimed for a minimalistic design, keeping the parts simple, single-piece, and easy to print. The mechanism for holding the Bowden tubes features a convenient "click-in-place" system—just apply some force, and the tubes will securely snap into position.

These components have been tested and optimized for ABS but should also work well with PLA or PETG. You can print them with 4 perimeters and 0 infill. I also added step files, so you can remix them if you want. If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you!
