This is a bracket to attach Loc-Line or similar modular hoses to your MK3S frame or anything with a 3030 aluminum extrusion. They can be attached without disassembling your printer and leave a little bit of room for wiring to pass through. The brackets can be fully assembled, hooked into the slot, and tightened down for a good solid hold.

I've included brackets with ¼" (0p250) and 1/8" (0p125) NPT threads, since these are the two sizes that seem to ship most often with the ¼" hose size.  You'll need one bracket and its corresponding keeper plate. 

For hardware you'll need two M3 nuts (nylock or regular) and two M3 x 18 cap screws per bracket. If you've got a Prusa, chances are you already have some in your spare parts bag.

To assemble, press the nuts into the hexagonal holes in the keeper plate. Fit the plate to the bracket so that they nest together, with the nuts facing away from the bracket. Slide the cap screws into the holes in the bracket and turn them until they engage the threads of the nuts. Pull the keeper plate away from the bracket as far as it will go, and hook the assembly into the slot in the 3030. Tighten the screws and you're ready to go!
