Original description:
Here is a remix to the original Y-Splitter for the Bambu Lab X1. This allows you to run material from the AMS or external spool without having to disconnect the PTFE tubing.
This uses push to connect fittings as you would see in a typical PTFE connector.

You only need the Release Ring and O-Ring from these assemblies. After you insert the PTFE tubing, pull back so the release ring has a gap between it and the print. While maintaining this gap, push the PTFE back in so it seats. The retaining ring should then firmly keep the PTFE bottomed out in the adapter housing.
Print with single inlet side on the build plate. Add a 10mm brim to stabilize the print.
