This thing is better than the original metal fitting usually used. Having movement in the Bowden system causes inaccurate extrusion and is a common but often overlooked problem. You want zero movement of your bowden tube! If you have the slightest feeling that it is moving, it is.
For optimal results:
- Use high printing temperature to aid layer adhesion
- 100% infill
- Sand the outside of the PTFE Bowden tube and the inner sides of the clamp to get better grip between them.
- Use this trick in addition to the clamp to get even more stability.
- Tighten the nut as much as possible without breaking it
Ps: im not the original author. I was not able to find the source on Thingiverse, so i decided to upload it. If you are the creator, let me know if i should do something.
