<p>I just received these from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32856314896.html and they are perfect. Capricorn bowden fits all the way through, and they slide into my Bondtech extruder without any issues.</p>
<p>Be sure to choose the all-metal connectors with the white shim on the screw side, not the black plastic top ones.</p>

<p>Happy printing!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to be able to filament hand purge and cold pull through the top of of the heatbreak with a hot end PTFE tube in place.</p><p>So I did a hybrid approach with the PC4s.  I drilled the extruder side PC4 fitting for pass-through using a 4.1mm drill.  The hotend  PC4 fitting was stock, i.e., not pass though.   I shortened the hotend PTFE tube by 3mm to better accommodate the PC4 fitting as I measured. I also used a short piece of 4x5mm carbon fiber tubing on the upper end of the hotend PTFE tube to pilot into the 5.1mm ID of the PC4 fitting threaded end.  The upper end of the hotend PTFE tube gets a 45^ inside chamfer. (And the bottom end gets a 30^ outside chamfer to match the seat in the Mini heatbreak tube.)</p><p>I removed the filament sensor as I felt this was a  major friction component in the Bowden feeder system, and I really don't need that feature.</p><p>A 294mm Capricorn XS tube is used between the extruder and hotend, and am using Capricorn TL material for the input and hotend tubes.  I don't like the opaqueness of the XS tubing and if its 1.9mm ID causes problems I'll switch to the TL material for the long tube.</p><p>Pleased with the results using test pieces. (retraction at 1.7mm).</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read alot about the need for passthrough with these connectors.</p><p>I left a bit of ptfe tube inside the extruder, like @fuchsr said.<br />I actually think that leaving a bit of tube inside the extruder or heatbreak is better. In that case you will have less play when the long tube is moving in the connector, as could happen as the carriage is moving all the time. I guess the heatbreak is more prone to clogging when the ptfe tube has been pushed all the way in. If there is a small piece of non-moving ptfe chances are lower, me thinks.</p>]]></content:encoded>
