Why is this Bowden tube being pushed out?

Posted · Why is this Bowden tube being pushed out?

For the last week every time I print for more than a couple of hours, the Bowden tube leading to Print head 1 is dislodged and filament continues to be driven but does not extrude.

I assume that this is a problem at the hot end, so I have done the maintenance with hot and cold pulls and all appears good.  It isn't just one filament it has been various but all are Ultimaker PLA.  What am I doing wrong?  Image is on its side, not sure how to fix that, sorry.

    So, Carbon, it is a common problem but you don't give a solution, thanks my friend!

     

    The answers are within the "Quoted" threads.. Have you read them?

    Carbon, yes, but why do some clever, clever and expert people just not use the KISS principle.  State the reason and then give the references instead of trying to demean someone.  Obviously I looked in the wrong place or I wouldn't have asked the question, would I? The answer by Carla was exactly what was needed, succinct, to the point and correct, but thank you for bothering anyway.  Issue appears to be resolved.

    So I'm back again with the same problem.

    I have shortened and countersunk the Bowden tubing

    I have replaced the collet, clips and tubing

     

    I still have the same problem, so any helpful advice is welcomed!

    Next thing I'd look at would be print settings of speed, hotend temp, and nozzle size. Could the extruder be trying to push too much through a small hole at high speed?

    So reduce speed, ok will do.  I have done hot and cold pulls to check there isnt a partial blockage and I have put in a brand new AA print core.  Thanks for the advice

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
