A useful tool I found. (Cut ID Chamfer for Bowden Tubes)
I just wanted to post a useful tool that I fond that cuts the inner chamfer PERFECTLY into bowden tubes. (Similar to the ones pre-cut from Prusa come)
THIS drill bit, for boring holes has a wide enough blade/point to cut ANY bowden tube. (even if you have a 2.85mm printer)
Mine came sharp enough to cut the bowden plastic like hot butter. (No drill or anything needed, just use it as a hand-tool, and spin it with your fingers)
I was planning on just using a standard twist drill bit, when I saw this and thought. "hmmm... this is perfect!"
Tested it on a scrap piece of bowden, and it worked better than I could have hoped!
PS: If you do anything like this, MAKE SURE to get *ALL* loose PTFE off the ends/inside. PTFE *WILL* clog your nozzle!
