Bowden PTFE Coupler – ECAS Twist-Lock Magnetic Coupler

Magnetic twist-lock connection for PTFE/bowden tubes.

Parts

1. 2 x 6x3mm magnets
2. 2 x ECAS Connectors
3. 2 x Printed parts (ecas magnetic coupler)

Assembly

• All items are press fit, but might require tuning
• Magnets should be inserted in opposite polarity so that they are universally connectable

My print settings

• ABS
• 0.4mm nozzle
• 0.2mm layer height
• 4 perimeters
• no supports (I used sacrificial layers for counterbore holes)

Additional benefits

The magnets will align the chakras of your filament as it passes through improving its emotional wellbeing.

Original creation but inspired by the original.
