Filament stuck in the bowden tube
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 1:53 am
Hi, love the printer but have a small issue.
My filament was about to run out so I tried to retract it out to load new filament (maybe that was my mistake?). All went well until it got to the very end then it got stuck, I guess the filament near the hotend had expanded and cooled. I tried helping it out by tugging slightly but the filament broke off. I now have a 1cm long piece of filament loose in the tube. Can I pull the tube off at one end then push it back on after? I am maybe being too careful here since I don't want to putt too much force on the printer.
Thanks for the help
