AMS Buffer PTFE Pull Release

Install and forget it until you need it!
This mod allows you to quickly release the PTFE from the buffer or Hub that goes directly to the printer.
I suggest PETG just because, but you can use PLA I guess. Just make sure to use supports on the bottom of the top of the clip, and to remove them properly before adding the clip.

To install it you need to use the tool to move the spring out of the way slightly, and then make sure it's aligned with the thin wall on the inside of the Buffer/Hub

Once installed you just pull on the PTFE slowly until you're applying enough force that the PTFE is released. Do not yank on it.

Due to differences between the Buffer and Hub the tool may come misaligned when you remove the PTFE from the Buffer. Just push it back into place. Some PTFE are too curved at the end that goes into that end and need to be coaxed more into the PTFE fitting.

To uninstall it just wiggle it back and forth while pulling
