SOLVED -A10M - Teflon tube goes out

Post by rodrigo.caravaca » Wed Apr 10, 2019 4:53 pm

Hello all,
I have a new a10m and after 20 hours of printing i´m having this issue; The teflon tube goes out of the bowden mount. I tried to insert it again and press it hard but it goes out again.

I've seen some videos of people doing a quick fix with a clip... But i'm not sure that´s the right fix.
Any other options? anyone with the same trouble fixed it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I would replace connectors and maybe stock tube with Capricorn. If connection between tube and connector is weak you'll have retraction problem.

Unfortunately I have no recommendation for you. Read reviews on Amazon or eBay. maybe someone from this forum can recommend particular brand.
BTW I'm still using stock connectors, I replaced Bowden tube and I put some 3d printed clips.

the small metal part inside the push fitting may have broken or come out and the fitting wont function anymore.
Thanks Vert,
I brought new PFTE tube and connectors, waiting to have them to change it. As soon as i dissasembly it, ill have a look to know whats the exact problem. The teflon tube has pressure marks where the connector press it, so im not so sure about if that´s broken or not... maybe it´s just the tube.
