extruder jamming and leaking solutions and cutting feed tube

· extruder jamming and leaking solutions and cutting feed tube
I too had leaks using the teflon tape that was suggested in the instructions. I took c ernst's advice and bought some of the high temp sealant he tried. Don't know yet if its going to work or not.
In addition to the sealant, I made a fiber washer out of thick paper gasket material from an auto parts store and clamped it between the peek cylinder and the aluminum block. If the sealant doesn't work, I am pretty certain the gasket will work.
Also tried a small countersink in the end of the bowdan tube where it seals against the brass tube.
I am hoping all these measures will keep me leak free.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

I will follow up on how it all works out.
