Hi, I have printed a small holder for a Bowden tube to print from my filament dryer outside of the enclosure, but the filament coming out of the tube is tensioned and I don’t know if it will cause problems later. Is this fine to keep or how can I fix this? This i a Ender 3 V3 SE btw.
It might. Depending on how much tension there is. Too much and it will cause the filament to slip in the extruder causing under extrusion. If you are not seeing signs of under extrusion then you are fine for now - but that might change if you change filament or anything else. I would try to lower how much tension the filament is under to avoid problems in the future. Otherwise it would be something to keep in mind if you do start seeing signs of under extrusion.
But how do I lower the tension? I think its just the friction in the tube.
It could be a tight bend in the line somewhere - make sure there are no tight bends. Otherwise if it is the tube then get a thicker tube.
