Installation: #

Before Installation - Cut your PTFE Tube to the length required
1. Slide the Aglet™ Retainer onto the PTFE bowden tube and insert Aglet™ Installation Tool
2. Thread the Aglet™ onto the PTFE bowden tube.
3. Bring the Aglet™ retainer down over the Aglet™ and remove the Aglet™ Installation Tool then repeat for other end of your bowden tube.

*Tip - you can use a cordless drill to easily grip the Aglet™ to thread it up or down.

*Tip - you only need enough threads to make your calibration adjustment - there is no need to thread as long as you see in these images

Calibration: #

Grab the PTFE tubing and see if there is any play up and down.

In the event that there is play, unscrew the Aglet™ retainer and thread the aglet further up the PTFE and test again.

You are trying for zero backlash in Z but still allowing for a friction free rotation of the bowden tube / aglet™ while the aglet™ retainer keeps everything contained.

*Warning - If the Aglet™ is not calibrated correctly the PTFE bowden tube will not be held securely to the hotend's core tube.
- See video above.

🎉 You have successfully completed assembly and calibration of your new Aglet™ bowden tube... Enjoy! and happy printing! 🎉
