Minimize friction to ease feeding and stress on the nextruder by upping PTFE from 4mm OD to 6mm OD.

Since I like to use my XL with RepBoxTT underneath to feed spools having less friction on the longer runs is critical and thats why I did this mod.

Requires switching stock 4mm Festo connector with a PC6-M5 connector similar to the ones found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPXPBB8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
