Loose PTFE tubing #2

Closed JonathanRaines closed 8 years ago

JonathanRaines commented 8 years ago

Slots for PTFE tubing are too large. The Booleans are 3 mm across and the PTFE tubing is only 2 mm diameter. It would make assembly and maintenance faster if the tubes could be popped into place without glue.

Reduced diameter to 2 mm. The friction should cause the tubes to stick without glue. If there is still a problem after the next test print I'll make the channels narrower still, leaving the tube at the bottom at 2 mm. This should make the tubes pop in.

Tubes friction fit well. May need to be constrained axially but that will be within the scope of a separate issue.
