[Solved] Bowden Tube coming out of Extruder Push-fit

Post by jeffhuber »

My extruder when attempting to push filament is also pushing the bowden tube out of the push-fit connector.

Video of the problem

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you!! almost done!

You'll need to replace the push-fit connector, they fail, and they can't be repaired.

Thanks. That's helpful. how do I know if it failed or not? Is there some way I can test that?

There is no "installation" right? You just stick the bowden tube up into the push-fit connector and it stays?

Or did I miss a step?

Crap, solved.

I just didnt push in the bowden tube far enough. I didnt realize I would hit resistance and have to keep pushing.

Sorry for the confusion!
