Flashforge Creator 3 panel tunnel for external spools

Sometimes simple problems demand overengineered solutions. This will hold a PTFE part in the side panel of your Flashforge Creator 3 so you can print from an external spool and still keep the side panels closed


standard version:
You need:

4 heat inserts M3
4 screws m3 (I used 2x M3x10mm cylinder head and 2x m3 grub screws because I'm fancy, but anything in a 10mm ballpark works)
a piece of PTFE tube.

-print (settings don't matter, support not necessary, you own a C3 you can do this^^)

-position inside panel as seen in picture

-drill holes: 3mm sides, 4.5mm center

-insert heat inserts

-insert PTFE

-gently pinch PTFE in the printed part, don't overdo it

-screw into panel

-done

NEW: 1/8" thread (named .125) needs 2 m3 screws, 2 heat inserts and a 10mm bore in the middle.
M6 thread is the same with a 6mm bore.
