4-way Bowden Connector

I created a handy 4-way Bowden splitter that's perfect for my MMU project. It works well with different kinds of printer setups too. This gadget simplifies handling several filaments at once, making your printing smoother. You can quickly attach it anywhere with zip ties, which means you can set it up just how you like it. Not only does it make your printer more effective, but it also helps keep your space tidy and well-organized.

The model comes with a filament detection switch. Have you ever had a 3D printing job stop suddenly because you ran out of filament or it broke unexpectedly? Well, the filament detection switch is here to save the day. This nifty feature alerts you immediately when your filament snaps or finishes, helping you quickly address the issue and keep your printing projects running smoothly.

The presence of a filament sensor in a 3D printer can be a real game-changer, boosting both dependability and productivity. This sensor keeps an eye on the filament's status, and if it detects that the filament has run out or is tangled or broken, it will pause the printing process. This way, you’re not wasting any time, electricity, or material by running the printer when it’s not actually printing. You can swiftly fix the problem, refill the filament, and get back to printing without a hitch. This reduces the chances of printing failures and ensures you get quality results consistently. In short, using a filament sensor means less waste and better performance from your printer.

This model is a breakout from my MMU project. I hope this helps you out! If you have any suggestions or improvements, I'd love to hear them to make this even better.
