Simple and easy design - End pieces slide on with a bit of wiggling so I might sand them a smidge to fit better, but they'll definitely hold the wick tightly!

Easy and fast to print and very useful.
About 20 min for the medium type on my MK4.
Thank you Biomech!
Printed fine on my Ender 3. I printed the thin locking slots vertically with a brim. Nice and simple solution that keeps the wick in place, and is not over-complicated like some other designs I've seen. Thanks :)
Largest size printed alone in about an hour with Prusa Recycled PETG (need the heat resistance as I'll be preheating my containers to pour soy waxes) on a lightly modified MK2/S (0.4mm nozzle, 0.15mm layer height). Don't have a spare container to use it with at the moment but did a mock-up with one I have handy. Appears that it will work exactly as I need. Very clever little design. Tolerances are better than I expected. Good job! (edited)
