The PTFE Tube on my Prusa Mini broke last night. This is my hacky workaround until my replacement parts arrive
Yes it's 3 paper clips and tape, and sofar 2 print without issues.

Binder clips are up there with duct tape for the number of times they’ve been a good quick fix! Good chance to stock up and keep a few tubes on hand.
My policy has been to buy multiples of any part I replace. I’ve got a dozen tubes, a hundred nozzles, two beds, and a couple extra belts in my “spare parts” box at the moment. It helps that, often, buying multiple parts seems to drop the overall price per unit by a good bit.
Yup just ordered a bunch
Lol at this point I'd just hold off on printing anything until the new parts came - but I'm glad to see your ingenuity and tenacity!
Normally I'd agree since my print speed is down by half. But I have print orders to fulfill so...
What, no hot glue?
