I needed a replacement for this broken one and found a solution to make this tubes without the need of CAD. In just 2 steps the slicer handles to scale the default grip to any size.

The original ones did not survive a few saisons in the sun, original color was also red. Interesting to see how deep the UV light got into the plastic. Guess ASA will survive much longer.

Sure, I could buy the broken part at ~20€ but even with Prusament PETG it calls ~1.2€
and all the fun to do the CAD stuff was for free. Printed on a core one with print in place dove tails. Will publish the FreeCAD file on printables this evening. The original molded part was much thinner I guess the 3D printed replacement will last longer.
