PTFE Tube Remover
The PTFE Tube Remover is a compact, 3D-printable lever designed to make removing Bowden tubes from pneumatic fittings completely effortless. If you have ever struggled to depress a stubborn collet in a tight toolhead or hurt your fingers trying to swap a PTFE tube, this tool is the perfect functional upgrade for your workshop. specifically designed with the centauri carbon 2 in mind.
⚙️ Key Features
- Mechanical Advantage: The elongated lever arm multiplies your finger pressure, easily overriding stiff or jammed pneumatic collets.
- Perfect Alignment: The slotted cylindrical head slips seamlessly over standard 4mm PTFE tubing, ensuring perfectly distributed, flat downward force across the fitting.
- Tight-Space Friendly: Its low-profile, slim footprint allows you to reach deep into compact enclosures and toolheads without disassembling surrounding components.
- Print-in-Place: A simple, single-piece design that requires no extra hardware or assembly.
🛠️ Recommended Print Settings
- Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA are highly recommended for long-term durability and structural flex resistance. (Standard PLA works fine for light or occasional use).
- Perimeters (Walls): 3 to 4 walls to ensure the lever arm doesn't snap under leverage.
- Infill: 25% – 40% (Gyroid or Grid pattern) for maximum rigidity.
- Supports: None. Orient the model flat on its side or back as imported.
