Fixing Ender 3 and Ender 5 Bowden Tube Gap

[@정명우-u2k]

You sir, saved my ender 3 from getting thrown out the window. I had no choice but to subscribe!

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Glad it helped! :)

[@biergarten1358]

My friend gave this to me because he said it was broken, yet this was the problem

[@craigag76]

Yep. Just saved my Ender 5 Pro.

[@maxtaleb8201]

You just saved my ender 3

[@twentyonetoone9783]

It's crazy when you think that you're alone with your problem and then you KZbin it and there's a guy giving a better tutorial than most of the training I've ever received at any of my employers. Thank you so much for what you do, I ran my old bowden tube through and about an eighth of an inch of crap came out, ran it through until clean, installed the new recommended bowden tube from Amazon and everything is running smoothly. My only concern is I didn't replace the extruder tip itself, which I might need to end up doing, and I may have slightly undercut the amount of tube to cover the entire printing space, so just a heads up, probably better to cut more than less. Thanks again

[@ArterialRedGuy]

4-year old video, and still the best run through for this under-extrusion cause and solution. Thanks!

[@UncleJessy]

I’ve been at this for many years now and I just learned some new things from this awesome video!

[@Ezric2]

I have spent the past week going through every part of my printer I bought second hand. The previous owner said his kid couldn’t get it print right. I’ve been making test prints and getting fails, e skips, and just an overall headache. I changed nozzles, recalibrated the extruded, and got the bed perfectly level. Then I saw your video, and an aaha moment when pushed a 1.5 inch long plug of solid filament with a groove that new filament was taking through it to reach the hot end. Got it all put back, and it prints like a dream! Thanks my man.

[@ct200u]

so the previous owner gave up on the machine because the bowden tube had a gap between the hotend?? haha amateur move

[@samtomko]

4 year old video and still saving sanity for people. Was 2 seconds from screaming. Thank you for such a great video

[@icedownjb]

I had been printing with my Ender 3 V2 for a year when I suddenly started having filament jam in the hot end and tube. I was starting to pull my hair out when I found this video. Thank you so much. It's back to working better than ever now.

[@mikealgie9928]

I've been having issues with under-extrusion and this video has saved the day. And my sanity! thank you SO much!

[@geforcy]

Me 2 on my ender 4..... It drove me insane!

[@andrewbeauman]

This just cured months of woes... I pushed out the biggest plug. It was like 1cm gap between the nozzle and the PTFE. You're my hero.

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

So glad it helped!

[@TinsYouTrimble]

Every issue I have ever had with my Ender 3 has been solved by your videos. I even used your videos to build the machine! Thank you for making such thorough and helpful videos!

[@XombieRoad]

Every time I have a printer problem, searching for a solution always brings me to this channel. And your solution has so far always worked for me. Thank you!

[@Matt-fq2di]

You are a champion sir. After replacing parts and spending hours with no luck troubleshooting my Ender 3 unsuccessfully, I'm back to printing high quality prints without extruder clicks, nozzle clogs, or stringing. Wish I could buy you an adult beverage to show my gratitude.

[@LJ-gu2dj]

I ran the bowden tube down several times got some gray filament off. I waited 30 seconds or so, ran the tube down it again and got more junk, even some old red filament. I had a gap which will be fixed shortly. Thanks again, Tom!

[@thomaskerslack4299]

thank you random stranger on the internet! ;) Printer started underextruding when I put in a new nozzle. I have been into 3d printing like 3 years and never ever even heard of that issue before. crazy how you learn something new every day. Turns out the new nozzle is like 1mm shorter than the other, thats why the tube didn't reach it. Hotend was FULL of gunk. Can't thank you enough!!

[@Ozzie4Para]

I decided to install a Capricorn tube on my CR10 today. I used your video as a guide and everything went perfect. Other KZbin videos never mention the part where you advise to screw the nozzle on then back it off 3/4 turn. Push the PTFE tube in all the way then continue to tighten the nozzle. Most KZbin videos tell people to tighten the nozzle first then tighten the bowden connection on the top end. Your explanation makes much better sense. Thanks!

[@johnmrix]

Thanks for this video - found it from a Reddit post you responded to and answers exactly the problems I've been having. I knew it was something along those lines from simple deduction, but disassembling, cleaning and re-assembling the hot end was not solving my problem. This explains much more clearly what is happening, and the process is clear. Thankyou!

[@Xw3dn3sd4yX]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out my underextrusion+stringing breakout and even went and bought a direct drive which I ended up returning because I realized it's the coupler that failed and my hotend probably has filament in there from clogs. This is so very concise, very easy to see everything and you have a calm and reassuring tone that helps ease the tension of not knowing what I'm about to do.

[@DrDonkeypunch]

I ordered some new nozzles because i had flow issues, i saw the old one was worn out. I waited two days for them to arrive, only to find out my hotend was full of material. I started looking at new ones, original and swiss, but money is short, and i already wasted time waiting for the nozzles. I felt worringly alone in the world. And your video saved me from additional days of deppression. Thank you sir!

[@rstainsbury]

Yep - 200 hours of printing over 2 weeks (it's been going NON - STOP!) and I had this problem. Thank you so much!

[@lorenzwa]

All this time of frustration you’re the 1st person I found that said Bowden tube went all the way to the nozzle. Wow, Well done.

[@jim8662]

I know this has been around for a few years, but I only recently discovered it. THANK YOU, SIR!!!!! This seems to have resolved a big problem I was having with the CR 6SE. After failing to print twice, I started looking for causes. After a few false starts, I came upon this video and managed to clear the blob out of my hotend. I appreciate you very much! I have subscribed and clicked notifications!

[@patspeth57]

Tom, Thank you for this wonderful video! It was just what I needed in order to fix my Ender 3. As a person new to 3D printing I appreciate all the diagrams, close up photos, and extra tips.

[@gregm5611]

Thank you so much. Printers like the ones from Creality are great, but require a lot of know-how and maintenance to consistently get good quality prints. Videos like yours make that possible. I was having both underextrusion and stringing issues, and going back and forth to try and solve for both. I didn't suspect a clog, and once I did, I wasn't sure of the "Ender way" to fix it. This walkthrough was a huge help.

[@msarbini94]

Omg dude you rock. I was about to give up and sale my printer. Until I ran into this video. Let me tell you life saver. I thought for sure I had messed up my printer since I had replace the motherboard. But I am so happy to have seen ur video. To stop making videos, we need you. Lol thank again.

[@WungoBungo]

Most helpful tutorial I could find for my CR6 Max. This saved me a lot of headache and the tip about screwing the nozzle up into the PTFE tube is genius!

[@wixter982]

Thanks, worked perfectly, now my printer prints as it would be brand new!

[@malysyforethought1195]

My six week old Ender had just started stringing and partially under extruding on a set of prints all using the same slicer configuration, and I was confused as I hadn't changed any settings. This explains it and I'll replace the connector at the same time. Thanks for the info, it's a great help!

[@lucky4the4turtle]

Did you also confirm it?

[@malysyforethought1195]

@@lucky4the4turtle Yes, the Bowden tube had slipped up by about three mm. Not a huge amount, to be sure, but it was an easy fix and it's back to working properly. :-)

[@minarotter6913]

Man, you're a genius. I replaced the boden tube and nozzle and was still having issues. Sure enough, when I followed your advice, a great chunk of semi solid pla came out the bottom of the hot end. One thing I did do differently was to not dismantle the hot end assemblym this shortened the procedure a lot. I just took the nozzle off and pushed the boden tube throudh as per your video. Thanks v much

[@Mr_yellow23]

Oh my god thank you I had no idea what was wrong with my printer so I just want to thank you

[@Boskonovitch113]

Thank you for the fantastic tip about waiting until the tube is in place before doing the final nozzle tightening! Hopefully, this will alleviate any future gap problems I have.

[@imdandman]

This video is awesome! Totally saved my bacon! I got an Ender 5 Pro for Christmas and printed the dog g-code file on the included memory card without issue. But ever since then, my prints have been mysteriously failing. Watched this video and disassembled my bowden tube, extruder, and nozzle it was clogged to high heaven! This video was an awesome tutorial on disassembly, and proper re-assembly so the bowden tube is tight! This is maybe my 10th youtube comment in as many years - truly appreciate this video!

[@DarrenPauli]

summary at 2:00 heat up the hotend to at least 210, remove the nozzle and coupler, and stick the bowden tube in and out a few times until it comes out clean. the gunk in there makes a gap that creates filament drag. fingertight the nozzle when you're done with a 6mm wrench then loosen by half a turn. push the bowden back in then tighten the nozzle back that half turn and you'll get a great seal. Thanks for the video!

[@fantastiv]

After replacing my extruder to an aluminium one, suddenly I was under extruding. I didn't understand. After a few days searching in that part I decided to start searching for other causes. I followed the instructions of this video and found some hard filament near my nozzle. Thank you sir for your great videos! After a week of struggeling I finally can print clean again!

[@RussDahlberg]

I had a cracked extruder under the extruder bearing, but even after fixing that, prints still were extremely under extruding. This helped me solve my problem after 5 hours of working on it. Thank you!

[@pixhilaration]

FIXED! Thank you so much for this detailed video Tom. Bowden tube was stuck at the hot end, had no clue how to remove it (easily) - until I watched your video. A lot of nice "top tips" included by you - to prevent mishaps and breakages.

[@kesarium]

I never would have thought this was the problem I was dealing with but I did it anyway and it solved my over-extrusion problem that I didn't know I had. Thank you!!

[@joetriche2891]

Holy crap! Thank you so much! I was going insane trying to figure out what was wrong with my machine. You helped me regain my sanity.

[@advil000]

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for your videos. Don't change a thing. Your Creality videos and "help" for things like the bowden tube and whatnot have helped me more than just about all the other 3d printer gurus channels. I have a Geetech which is a larger clone of a CR10 which is... a lot like an Ender 3. Which means same issues. My fitting on my hot end got loose within 20 hours of printing. I bought one of the 10 packs you list from Amazon and so far it's been a big difference on retract survivability. Also, I like your tabletop model printing channel. Even though I don't play tabletop games these days you have to know how these printers work inside and out to get good quality models printed. Way more practical than just printing a couple of test prints on a brand new printer and calling it good. We need to see what goes wrong and how to fix things after you've put 500 hours on a printer. :) Keep up the good work.

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Thanks! :)

[@jf6720]

Thanks for saving the day! And if anyone else is reading this, this didn't work for me at first, so I got mad and turned off my printer and a chunk (that I couldn't get out with the tube) came oozing out! So don't give up this will work.

[@victoryavar]

You sir are a hero. I'm having lots of problem with my ender 3 and this worked perfectly! I would strongly suggest new couplings just like you said. Thanks again for your time and effort to create these wonderful videos. Best wishes from Peru!

[@als1023]

A month into 3D printing and this happened to us. Thank you again for an excellent help video ! So far having very good results and straight forward learning curve without so many of the problems I see and hear about, much of it thanks to your detailed and informative channel,,, all the best !

[@stukayak]

I’ve now done a bit of printing with PETG and it’s the best I’ve ever managed with this stuff! Until I watched your video I had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it and I mistakenly thought it was just hard to print with PETG! Many thanks!

[@doylecollins1351]

This is the best example of correcting a 3d printer problem on KZbin! Only issue is the Amazon link for the Bowden tube couplers no longer work, but great job...

[@raulduke7142]

Great guide. Been having issues for a minute now. I know its an old video but my son and I are new to printing. Thank you so much for taking the time to release this video. Im sure it will save us future headaches. 👍🏻

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Glad it helped! :)

[@samfarnham6965]

dude thank you so much. the second you put the bowden tube in while the nozzle was loose i practically smacked myself in the forehead. seems so obvious in hindsight.

[@majorpayne4098]

Tom, you are pure Genius! I am in process of getting a pro 3 and doing a build. your instructional videos are by far the clearest, simplest and attention holding of any contributor to you Tube period! I have the same exact digital calipers from menards lol!!

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Thanks! :)

[@mindtekzone]

I would like to thank you for your clear and concise information. I followed your instructions and the fix went perfect and solved the problem that I was having. I think that your source information is better than what the manufacturer puts out on their own machines. The tip about turing the nozzle loose one turn was perfect.... thanks again for your information.

[@matthewa3454]

This saved me SO much debugging time, I had been fighting my printer for weeks. Thank you so much!

made my day, i was not aware of this gap, having an Ender 5 Pro. Last few prints where just fucked up. Did what you said and now it prints perfect. Many thanks for the solution.

[@montycowlbeck3169]

I literally spent probably 5 hours troubleshooting why my feet are wheel wasn't turning consistently. I looked at literally everythingelse and then I came across your video and pulled out a chunk of plastic from the hot end about 1 inch long lol. Subbed!

OMG i just bought my ender 3 pro and had this exact issue thank you for the tip!!!

Its ridiculous tbh. I just noticed that tube wasn't pushed all the way down. Been having jams all night. Hopefully this fixes it..going to bed. Thanks for the vid

[@meande-man5351]

Tightening the nozzle one turn is an awesome tip, thanks!!

[@Yykrostil]

Fantastic video! I had the same problem recently and was getting absolutely frustrated when my larger prints were getting unfilled layers. The step-by-step guide was easy to follow and now I'm back on track for printing. Thank you!

[@CaptSumTingWong1]

Are you the messiah? Every single word you said was an accurate description of my experience... Seems like TPU and glow PLA got the best of my completely stock ender 3 and I'm glad I found a Capricorn tube & upgraded coupler bundle, seems like a worthy first upgrade!

[@Battlelurker]

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I struggled for a week trying to solve this issue. I also had a issue of the extruder clicking and poping back every few seconds. Aure enough, when i check the coupler, it had failed. I was about to buy a new bed and new hotend set up. But its now working great again.

[@CorvusNumber6]

I've been using my Ender 3 for about 6 months now - think it's about time I cleared it out! Great video, well explained. Thankyou!

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@CorvusNumber6]

@@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors You're most welcome - I just performed the operation this evening and it's like a new machine - no more clicking to due filament drag and more importantly, no more stringing! (It had been plaguing me for months - turns out I bought it last July so I actually have it a year, not 6 months). Thanks again for a great video, it solved my problems!

[@Abha-com]

OMG, man you are awesome. Learned how bowden tube works. Previously as a stupid i have cut down the bowden tube at nozzle to whole clogging situation, and always having problems with clogging frequently.thought it is normal. Now i understood why . I am gonna try that out. Thank You so so much. Love from India. BTW am youtuber from Hyderabad India.

[@PWNHUB]

This was a major help, I so didn't wanna disassemble my hotend and I definitely had a clog.

[@th3t1ck]

Perfect! This worked for me and now my Ender is printing very nicely again. Been struggling with the dreaded "click" noise of the extruder slipping as it tried to force filament through for several days.

[@alejandrogomezdelmoralguer3502]

You sir, remain a hero. I assume this works for the Ender 3 Pro as well - been having some annoying under extrusion and I’m excited now to hopefully fix the problem!

[@Gowaduv]

Excellent 3D Printer 101 video. 110% agree with the method for ensuring a good seal between the nozzle and tube. I do that each time I switch nozzles and have had almost no problems with filament leaking. I switched to Capricorn PTFE and have had no drag problems, nor problems with PTFE breaking down when I print PETG at 240C. I went ahead and bought the couplers they sell and they're easier to use when removing the tube (they don't jam nearly as much as the couplers that came with the printer or the same-style replacements).

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Capricorn is also great for even just PLA printing, it'll last much longer before breaking down than the standard PTFE. :)

[@edparker9837]

I have the problem with it popping out at the extruder end. I ordered new ones but was wondering about a temp fix while I wait. But, the brilliant idea was the zip-tie instead of the blue clip. I've had blue clips fall off in the past. That alone was worth watching the video! Will be checking out your other videos for tips like that!

[@mooseworks_soldiers]

My tube was a chore to remove. I wound up bending it a little to get it out and yes I was depressing the cap. It had a ton of sticky black adhesive coated on it and the inside of the coupler. I also didn't catch the comment on leave the "sock" and thought I could unwrap mine but nope so it's destroyed. Good news is I saw your link to the silicone cover and have ordered a set. The tube pushed the clog out on the first go and came out clean the second and third times. Thanks for the video. I'll have to pick up it again when my covers arrive.

[@josephmacina863]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video fixed my depressing situation/problem. It also saved my Ender Pro 3's life. I was so close to adjusting it with a hammer or selling it.

[@harrisonschowengerdt6535]

thank you so much for this video. My printer was a Christmas present and my parents bought it hoping it would be a good printer. your video helped me to fix, and now it's back to blowing name brand printers out of the water.

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Glad it helped!

[@nathrael]

Thank you sir. I only stumbled upon this when I asked google the question indirectly - "How can I tell if I'm sticking my bowden tube down into melted filament?" Just what I needed.

[@markhutchinson8686]

An additional cleaning step is to use a long 9/64" hex wrench (I have not found a metric equivalent) and pass it through (and carefully rotate it like a drill) like Tom uses the PTFE/Bowden tube. It is the right size to peel off any remaining stuff in the heat throat without damaging it. Once it passes and rotates through with no drag, the throat is clean.

[@camaroboy383]

Can also use a brass barrel brush for .17hmr👍

[@spooky9176]

about 4 years late, had to heat up the allen key with a lighter in my case to get the clog out

[@Raigurren]

.. I've had my Ender 3 for a month now and I've used it a lot in that time. And just last Friday it stopped printing a ticking sound was something I kept hearing and for during this last week I changed the extruder (was very much needed) , got new nozzles new bed and on the end.. The ticking stopped cause of the new extruder but...still nothing. Finally stumbled on this video and sure enough I had a huge clog in the bowden tube. Cleaned it and all is good now. I.. Was baffled that was it... Thank you!

[@Johnn_T]

My Ender is a year old next month (one of the original release)-so far I've not had ANY coupler or hotend issues at all-so my guess is that it's "luck of the draw" with regard to who on their assembly line assembled the machine. The only thing I've had to replace is the extruder drive-it now has the red alloy creality one. I bought all these update parts for my printer and it's been so good I've started selling the upgrade stuff. If I ever end up getting this issue I will replace the hot end with an all metal one I bought and also fit new couplers and even Capricorn Bowden on it, but until then, it can stay as it is. That said, nice comprehensive video👍

[@kaseyboles30]

I have the opposite problem with my hot end coupler. It's strictly one way. No matter how I compress it, the boden tube will NOT go backwards. Changing to cap tubing meant pushing the old one all the way through it.

[@babyloniasteve]

Great stuff Tom. Many thanks. I had 2 minor issues during the replacement process. 1, the Bowden tube kept slipping out of my grip and 2, my Bowden tube was blocked with plastic crud. Luckily I had orded extra tubes along with the couplers.

[@sirxenox6607]

Works also for an anycubic i3, you saved my day and a lot of money i would waste for fixing fine working parts

[@stukayak]

As a noob I had no idea! Many thanks for the explanation. I did have a brainwave though. To ensure a seal between the tube and the nozzle I drilled a shallow 4mm recess on the back end of the nozzle to accept the end of the tubing. I’ve tried it manually (while I wait for tubing to arrive) and it seems to work a treat. Not a trace of melted plastic on the end of the tubing when I withdrew it (hot). I appreciate that it’s quite a tricky job and not everyone will have a drill press but if the nozzle isn’t going to be changed often I think it’s a worthwhile mod.

[@DeGamersDutch]

[@freohr16]

Hey there, sir -- thank you so much for showing us this content! I was looking through the top and bottom for way too long, yesterday. The obstruction looked like a mix of mess and erosion at first, so I thought that I was about to order a new hotend assembly. After seeing you run the tubing ALL the way through, that made so much more sense for how one can preserve a single hotend for much longer. Thank you, appreciate you, and I've subscribed. :)

[@JeremyBlackston]

Another happy watcher. This video should be a required watching for buying a printer with a Bowden setup.

[@IbnBahtuta]

I really appreciate this upload. This was the same problem I'd just thought I'd cured until I turned my back on it for 5 mins and the problem reappeared. I'm definitely going to try your way. :)

[@joegraham1550]

So, learning some new stuff from this. Having bowden tube problems (getting it replaced with capricorn, but that's neither here nor there). Anyway, I pulled out the old tubing and there's gunk *all over* the part that was in the hotend. I now know what it is. I'll be using clean parts of the tube to clean out my hot end now while waiting for replacement. Thank you for yet another very useful video (which I had missed before)

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

I find Bowden is not accurate at all when it comes to filament flow. Now I have a direct extruder on the carriage and I have much less flow issues now. I have a CR-10S4. The standard NEMA17 34mm stepper can handle the weight even at higher acceleration, but it does exacerbate ghosting in walls.. Working on a rigid printhead with everything bolted/screwed in as a whole, with dual extruder aswell. The extruder steppers will be NEMA17 20mm, assisted by two steppers located by the filament rolls to feed the filament so the forces are balanced as much as possible. That should reduce ghosting a lot.

[@Zetaglitch]

And then, few hours later you posted exactly what i needed. Thank you for your colaboration.
