Converted my Replicator dual clone to Bowden Style extruders. Much smoother printing and way less shaking.

Your brass with blue plastic connectors, they are standard connectors of some kind. What are they official called and what type of store would carry that kind of connector. Thanks

@Wayne_Friedt pneumatic push lock connectors. They are designed for liquids I believe. They are readily sourced on ebay. E3D sells larger all plastic ones. I have had those small blue plastic fittings die horrible deaths. Some people have sourced all metal fittings, very high end. Too rich for my blood. :wink:

Also known as pneumatic quick fittings
