This 3D model is a precision-designed PTFE tube clip, created to securely hold Bowden tubes or PTFE liners in place within a 3D printer setup. It is intended for use with extruder and hotend assemblies that rely on PTFE tubing to guide filament, ensuring that the tube remains firmly seated and preventing unwanted movement that can cause extrusion issues or print quality problems.

The design is made to fit standard PTFE tube diameters commonly used in 3D printing, such as 4 mm outer diameter tubing, but it can be scaled to match specific printer requirements. Its compact and functional shape allows for a snug fit without excessive force, making installation and removal quick and easy while maintaining a reliable grip.

The model is optimized for 3D printing with minimal material usage while ensuring strength and durability. It can be printed in materials such as PLA, PETG, or ABS for everyday use, or in stronger engineering-grade materials for high-temperature environments. Its geometry allows for clean printing without the need for supports, and the small size ensures a short print time.

This PTFE clip is a simple yet essential accessory for maintaining a stable filament pathway, reducing the risk of clogs, gaps, or filament grinding. Whether used as a replacement for a lost or worn-out clip or as an upgrade for improved reliability, it is an indispensable part of a well-maintained 3D printer.
