A useful trick is to insert a PTFE tube and push it outward from inside the dryer to release the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by raph0x88 on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67369464791344,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_95f927dc-94a6-40ac-89ca-cdd7c08b1535.png?v=1784067728","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/creality-spacepi-x4-ptfe-fitting-fix","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
