Description
A redesign of the printed parts of the RepRap Pro Huxley extruder, to use push-to-fit type connectors on each end of the Bowden tube.
Made because we had lots of problems with the tube popping out under load from the extruder. The push-to-fit connectors are much sturdier.
Can be retrofitted to a stock Rep Rap Pro Huxley.
This is a derived work of the original Rep Rap Pro Huxley, which can be found at github.com/reprappro/Huxley
There is also a git repository with these changes made to the original Rep Rap Pro Huxley design, at
github.com/projectgus/huxley/tree/feature-extruder-pushfit
You may also want to look into this as a simpler alternative (I didn't know these were available when I started this project):

Yes, indeed. I missed your design the first time around too (I must have been searching for Rep Rap Pro mods only, missed the eMaker stuff!)
So you have a 4mm push-to-fit at one end, what do you use at the other end?
