I've been working on this for a while and have come up with a middle cowling for the CC with the PTFE guide incorporated into it.

You can still push down on the PTFE Tube Guide Release to get the PTFE out of the printhead with having to remove anything.

 

This design needs to have a riser on the CC for clearance between the PTFE tube and the top glass. I've also added into the design a cut-out towards the bottom left of the cowling to help give some clearance to use tweezers/pliers to pull the left plug of the hotend out as I change the hotend's quite often.

 

For me and anyone else that prints in PPA-CF/PPS-CF, you'll need to print is in at least ABS, especially if you're running an active chamber heater as I do.

I've used 8x3mm magnets in the design.
