Whoops, meant to share this with the community

Quick tip for potentially better retracts on Bowden E3D v6’s (haven’t actually tested): hole-punch the edge of an old plastic card (credit card, I’D, etc) and cut out the shape for an Ultimaker-style Bowden clip, which reduces some of the backlash during extruder retractions

@Andre_Mercado , I haven’t actually finished assembling my printer; I got it because almost everyone recommended it. Hope it helps :slight_smile:
