Stage 03: Splitter

Splitter back half

Splitter front half

PC4-M5 Coupling (x3)

M5 Nut (x3)

Blue precision PTFE tubing - 20cm

Regular PTFE Tubing - 80cm (Note, the including tubing will be white, we're using black here to make it easier to see against the backdrop.)

Splitter screws (x4)

Low profile couplings, these were originally included with the kit but we recommend using the larger PC4-M5 couplings instead.

Place into position the three M5 nuts into the back face of the splitter.

Then sandwich the nuts in place by fixing on the front face with the four small screws.

Using a craft knife, cut two 35CM lengths of the regular white PTFE tubing.

With the left over white tubing cut three 1cm lengths.

When cutting, use a craft knife and make sure that the cut is as flat as possible.

Push the three pieces of tubing into the openings on the splitter like shown.

With the tubes inserted you can now fix the couplings onto the nuts.

Cut 9CM of the blue precision PTFE tubing.

Again, when cutting, use a craft knife and make sure that the cut is as flat as possible.

Insert the 9CM PTFE tube into the bottom of the splitter.

Push the other end of the tubing into the hotend, it should go all the way down to the nozzle. (approx 6cm in)

Fix the PTFE tubings into the couplings on the extruders.

Fix the other sides into the splitter.

Make sure that the left extruder is feeding into the left side of the splitter and vice versa.
