PTFE fitting PC4-M10 (M6) IKEA Skadis holder (guide)

This fitting holder offers several distinct features:

• Versatility: It can accommodate one or two fittings simultaneously from the top and bottom, depending on your needs.

• Drybox support: By using two PC4-M10 and PC4-M6 fittings per hole, you can create an air-sealed environment for feeding filament from a drybox to your printer or AMS system.

• Filament guide: Install one fitting with a small piece of PTFE tube to guide the filament, reducing bending curves and minimizing friction.

• Variability and compactness: The design includes three models for 1, 2, and 4 holes, all compact enough to fit seamlessly on a Skadis pegboard.

• Reliable connection: The clearance between the hook and the holder body has been reduced to 5mm for a snug fit on the Skadis board. Additionally, the number of walls has been increased to ensure the hook is solid and rigid.

• No waste: The model requires no brim or support during printing.

• Precision thread: A layer height of 0.12mm ensures precise printing of the thread for smooth functionality.

There are 5 print profiles available.

• 1 - First version for PC4M10 fitting for max space saving. Designed for original white IKEA SKADIS board!

• 2- Second version for PC4M10 fitting, the model on 5mm wider (distance from SKADIS board)  and more convenient to operate. Designed for original white IKEA SKADIS board!

• 3- Same wider version but for PC4M6 fitting. Designed for original white IKEA SKADIS board!

Then I realized that some SKADIS boards, especially custom made, are thinner and my holder are not tightly sit on them. So I have published 2 more print profiles to close the gap, please use these ones if original holders are not tightly sits:

• 4 - PC4M10 fitting, wider version for a custom thin SKADIS board

• 5 - PC4M6 fitting, wider version  for a custom thin SKADIS board

I recommend you also print this Skadis lock plug the size #6, it will perfectly fix the guide on the  board.

I am using the 1 and 4-hole versions with Skadis spool holders for AMS system.
You can also see the fitting plug in the photo, the model is available here.

Happy printing!

P.S. If you are looking for the solution to reduce 3D printer noise, have a look on soundproof cabinet design, crafted from IKEA furniture. This cabinet reduces printer noise and ensures impressive 36.5 dB(A) at just 1 meter away. Detailed instruction how to build it you may find here

Everything was changed, number of holes, their location, 3 types of the holder.
