Bowden tube fitting wrench for XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 Pro by Omniwheel

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This fitting wrench allows you to replace the bowden tube fitting attached near the extruder motor without having to remove all the covers of the xyz printer. Simply lift the top cover, remove the bowden tube and filament, and insert the wrench (line the notch up with one of the corners) and turn left to unscrew the fitting. This wrench has been tested with the original fitting that comes with the machine and uxcell fittings found on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ITFXDI/
There are three wrenches, an all in one that requires no additional tools, a bit that can be used with a standard bit driver, and a socket that can be used with a standard 3/8" socket wrench.
The parts were successfully printed on a XYZ Pro in 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm using Simplify3D for slicing. I recommend using 1mm or better due to the chamfered edges at the opening. I also recommend printing slow especially near the opening due to the extremely thin walls. Supports are only needed for the bit version (depending on orientation).
The parts may need sanding or finishing, at least around the exterior tube especially if there are blobs or strings.
I hope this helps save you time when replacing your fittings.
