Posted · How to repair an UMO cut bowden tube

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to 3d printing. I have got a UMO (I know it is completely obsolete, but that is all I have).

The fact is that I had to cut the bowden tube (I know this the dumbest thing to do, but I didn't tough).

I tried to repair it with some tape, by printing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:56353/files and adding hot glue to keep eerything in place, I tell the printer to print 60% speed, but nothing worked. Everytime, the filament pushed the bowden tube apart.

I know the best thing to do is to replace the bowden tube, but ordering one takes a long time to arrive and I need to print things right now.

This will only be a temporary fix.

If you have any solution, experience or question, feel free to tell me.

Thank you
