Has anyone tried using a push to connect type of tube on an extruder upgrade by chance?

I have a design and left provisions for a 1/8" NPT fitting and am trying to figure if a push to connect will work instead of a compression type of fitting.

A push to connect fitting will generally allow the tube to be pulled out slightly so I don't know if this would cause issues. A compression fitting will be more of a rigid connection.

    I don't know if anyone has tried but if the bowden is allowed to move up and down it will affect retraction (it has to "take up the slack" before the actual retraction starts). You want the tube to be stuck in there without moving.

    I have that kind of fitting on both my extruder and hot-end, after installation I checked if the bowden can move up and down , it doesn't.

    Currently no picture of it by hand, but if you like I can make one this evening.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
