Especially right behind the tools, if the tubes got far enough out of position they could keep the tool from docking properly during a toolchange.  I designed a couple of parts that clip onto the base plate and the empty extruder mounts in the back panel that keep the tubes under control.  I printed 4 of the base clips and 1 each of the tube clips.  The two are just slightly different to try to keep the descending tubes as straight as possible using the already existing holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed-stl-embed-stl\" >\n<div id=\"stl-preview-876b7c25_6e25_43e7_b1fb_268aef169b85\" class=\"embed-stl-target embed-stl-size-md \">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/areciv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-stl\/public\/img\/icon.svg\" class=\"embed-stl-cube-icon\">\n<\/div>\n<script>\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() {\nvar e = document.getElementById(\"stl-preview-876b7c25_6e25_43e7_b1fb_268aef169b85\");
