My Bowden Tube Keeps Slipping During Prints - A Solution is Needed The Reprappro Bowden tube I'm using tends to pop out during lengthy prints, which is quite frustrating. To solve this issue, I decided to print two different clamps that grasp the tongue securely in place but allow for some flexibility so it can still be easily removed when needed. To implement these custom-made solutions, follow these steps printed on PLA at 0.4mm: Step One: Print Two Clamps Using PLA material and a 0.4mm layer height, print two clamps with a specific design that holds the Bowden tube in place. Make sure they can grasp the tube tightly without obstructing its functionality. Step Two: Attach the Clamps Securely attach one clamp to each side of the print bed, ensuring they are positioned perfectly so as not to interfere with the print itself but also strong enough to hold the Bowden tube firmly in place. Step Three: Adjust as Necessary After attaching the clamps, ensure that they are properly aligned and tightened to prevent any movement or looseness. With this setup, you should no longer experience issues with your Reprappro Bowden tube coming loose during prints.
