Thanks. I did not think of this as a possibility. I am not going back to work for a few weeks so won’t be able to test it out yet. Thanks for the help!
If you end up ordering a collet, while waiting for it, it's perfectly okay to slice all your prints using the right side print core (assuming it's a single filament print).
Hi,
for the S-line feeders, there coud be anoter reason:

Oh! I thought it was the print head. If it's the feeder then yes rotate the collet slightly as well so the gap doesn't line up with that rib.

The white ring part I think is called a "collet". Inside the collet are 4 metal blades. They are sharp. Once this has failed once, it will fail many times because either one (or more) of the 4 blades is bent the wrong way or because the outside of the bowden has been partly scraped away so:
1) Cut off about 3mm of the end of the bowden. This way the blades inside the collet can bite into fresh bowden.
2) Inspect the 4 blades using a magnifying glass or reading glasses. If any of them look bent differently, try replacing the collet. You should be able to get some collets from your reseller.
Usually #1 is enough.
