Summary

These bowen tube locks make it really easy to lock and unlock your bowden tube 'Push to Connect' fittings. I made these for my AnyCubic Kobra Max and Vyper printers. I have a bunch of them ready to go when I need to lock my PTC fittings. Eliminates having to use a ziptie to lock it in place. I suggest using a harder filament like PETG or polycarbonate. PLA will work, but over time they will bend and you'll have to make more. I had to throw a few PLA clips out because they bent. However, I still have have a few PLA clips that I printed from my first batch and they're still working good.

Update: I just uploaded v2.0. This version has 3 different thicknesses and a larger grab handle in case you have a printer like a Kobra 2 series printer that are hard to remove. These should slide in with some tension, but your shouldn't have to force them in. I found on my Kobra 2 Max print head PTC has less left on the PTC locking ring and I had to make these updated versions. Also, I have updated the original version with thinner options as well.
