A simple upgrade that requires just two parts. (see options see below )

 

Option 1. Remove M5 brass insert from original and then insert into new part.

Option 2. Use of alternative does not require you to remove brass insert from original part. 

Option 3.  Use of this alternative removes threads completely by making it push fit 

I personally prefer the brass insert but if you want a simple swap out the alternatives could be simpler add-on 

Note:  It is  necessary  to enable supports (not auto generated !) and use paint on support smart fill on overhangs only. 

 

I used PLA as its much easier to get perfect print and this part has no stress or heat issues

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This project uses the orginal mmu3 part mixed with indicator base and indicator ring from above project as I did  want to take apart the mmu3.  

I have added two other options that do not require the re-use of the  5mm brass insert. Which allows you to revert to original part. One threaded and the other a push fit.
