Re: Bowden problem
Honestly my printer had the same issue. The spring tension most likely isn't good enough to feed the filament. The stock spring they send with the printer has the tension of a noodle. I temporarily fixed mine initially with a penny placed in between the spring and the plastic. Basically like a shim. Now this is temporary because eventually it will stop working, cause that plastic is brittle and that spring is going to lose that tension because of the poor spring quality. A more permanent fix is one of these I have seen them cheaper on bang good. But they do a great job of solving the tension issue.

Yes, the spring it's not the better in the world! Mine now is just a little curved after few days!

Re: Bowden problem
Sorry I realize I didnt post a link to that upgrade updated my post with it, and here is the link
Sadly those springs that come with the printer are poor quality, but for the price really cant complain I guess. I have been more than happy with my printer and plan to put it through some modifications for sure.

You can buy dual drive Bondtech BMG clones for $20-$25 on AliExpress. I purchased two for under $40 a month ago and received them last week. They are a direct replacement for the inadequate extruders that came with the machine. I actually will be posting a little review shortly.

Re: Bowden problem
ez_3dprinter let me know what you think of that extruder. I have seen them and have always wondered how well the work compared to stock, they seem like they are a well built product honestly.
