I picked up a $30 GoPro Clone to make time lapse videos. Some means of mounting it on my printer was needed so I cobbled this together. It's a remix of one of cncartist's flanged utility bins and a GoPro camera mounting clip. It's now on Thingi, at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1721735

When you put in the ptfe tub for the nozzle do you run it all the way up into the barrel or bottom it out in the nozzle? It seems like one end might have a gap and if so which should it be?

Yep, and you want to cut the ends straight which is tough to do since PTFE is naturally curved. I made a little jig with metal plates on the ends so I could use a sharp single edge razor to cut it off.

Here is a printed jig. You will probably have to adjust the length for your nozzle and throat set.

Did this one a couple years ago but never published. The ends are big so thin shim stock metal can be epoxied on so the razor blade doesn't dig into the plastic.

Exactly, I have had this happen. When from red to yellow with the "traditional" run the new stuff right in on top of the old. After numerous prints I was still getting contamination. Figured out an unload method that works great and the yellow came out with red on it.
Have you guys determined a length of ptfe for the standard QIDI setup? I am just using what QIDI send with the nozzles.
