Hi everyone,
I have had a Sunhokey Prusa I3 for just over a week, my first printer and I'm getting some successful prints out of it, I'm pretty happy. I thought I'd make the leap from PLA to ABS and give that a try.
While changing filament, I managed to break a tiny little metal gripper thing which holds the bowden PTFE tube in place. See attached image.
Now the bowden tube pops out as soon as the filament starts feeding, which renders the printer useless.
Does anyone know what that part in the picture is called?
Any ideas on where I can get one in New Zealand?
Or does anyone have a spare I could buy? I'd rather not wait 4 weeks for a replacement to come from China.
Alternately are there any other ways I could get the bowden tube to stay in place? I gather it's not a good idea to clamp it too hard as that would affect flow.
Cheers.
Sadu.
