Summary

You are a proud owner of Creality K1C.

Once filament spool ends, you click refill, but after retraction loose filaments end stops inside PTFE tube, just a few centimeters away from filament sensor. So you have to disconnect PTFE from the head to pull out remains of filament.

Sounds familiar? Not anymore!

With this simple catcher end of filament jumps outside just a little, but enough to grab it and pull away.

You will need 2x PC4-01 connectors. It's very important to preserve exact distance between catcher and filament sensor, or loose filament end will remain in PTFE.

The inner part of each PC4-01 connector is usually 12mm deep, so overall PTFE insert between catcher and sensor side will be 75 mm.

May work for K1/K1-Max
