Here is the idea
I haven't researched fits, but I'm thinking of taking a helicoil (or the like), threading it onto the PTFE tube, then source or make a fitting that allows you to attach one end to the helicoil and the other to whatever fitting male/female is needed at the hotend or extruder. I think the helicoil wouldn't be a problem? It's the fittings for it I'm not to sure about? It would need to be like a hose fitting, allowing you to tighten it on without imparting twist in the tube.
Thoughts, constructive criticisms and discussion welcome.
