At what temperature are you printing? Also, make sure the bowden tube is nice and straight at the end (I see a small "gap"), and sticking out far enough so there is no posibility for the filament to get between the tube end and the PEEK.The tube should not slip. But if it does, the clamp from Owen might help. Look for it on thingiverse.
Can you tell me on which picture you see the gap? If you meen the angle of the tube on picture 2 it's not bent, it just looks that way.
I'm printing at 200C. I know that the temperature is right because after uncloging the nozzle and putting it back together, I tried manually to push the filament and flows very nicely. I also have the bowden clamp by owen and the white clipper near the hotend. There is no gap at least before it starts printing. I know the tube should protrude exactly 8mm so I measured it with a caliper before assembly.
Also what should be the length of the bowden tube? Can I cut 1cm where it's weared out so the white clip has a better grip?
