tube holder for extruder end

I noticed that when printing flexible filaments the loose end of the filament tube going into the extruder pulls away from the extruder due to the tension created by the tube and the filament doesn't have the strength to keep it aligned.

I created a tube holder for the extruder end that screws to the open fan hole with an M3 screw.

let me know if you find this useful
