Hi Bill, Apologies if it's been asked/answered before but having not taken my unit apart I'm curious if it would be relatively easy to affix some ptfe tubes as in-feeds to the head to make it easier to find the input holes as I don't have easy access to the rear of the printer? Would be nice to feed short lengths back from the head to my dry box to keep the filament out of the air as much as possible. Thanks, Paul

Paul, I just sent Bill a mod of the cutting guide for him to look at. I found it easier for me to hold the tube when cutting
The PTFE tubes are held in by brass ferrules that are crimped on... but we have an alternative design that allows you to print new sliders that have "teeth" that can grab the filament... and you can use the included template to cut the necesssary slots into the PTFE.
See here: https://www.printables.com/model/354998-3dchameleon-bc-replacement-parts-with-ptfe-grip By using it, you can insert PTFE tubes on both sides.
