Bowden tube pushed out of the feeder during the print - how to solve it?

Posted · Bowden tube pushed out of the feeder during the print - how to solve it?

Hello,

 

I have upgraded my Ultimaker 2 to a Ultimaker 2+ using the official kit last December. I was quite happy with the upgrade until yesterday.

I had to abort a long print twice and today again due to the reason that the bowden tube has been pushed out off the feeder after some hours of printing. 😞

Please find attached a picture. When  I detected the issue the first time the bowden tube was pushed much more far away from the feeder.

I really don't know how to solve this problem as I never had this with the Ultimaker 2. I already tried to find a solution but the recommendation was to replace the bowden tube or to use a thicker clip. I've printed one this morning but this doesn't solve the problem - I just had to abort the print again. I didn't change anything in the CURA settings in compare to my last prints. Last Wednesday I had a 6 hours print without any issues. Since December the printer was used for approx. 30-40 hours only so I guess replacing the bowden tube doesn't really make sense.

I hope someone can help me here. Unfortunately I am a bit under time pressure for this "project" now. 

 

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Alex

    Yes, this is the current solution and it works. I have built in the old part yesterday evening and the printer is working without any problems at the moment. I had to cut the Bowden tube a bit - it seemed so that the metal parts inside wore off the tube a bit. I've found some parts inside of the feeder.

        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.
