About this print

A printed spacer designed to address a common hot end issue on several Creality and compatible FDM printers, including the Ender 3, CR-10 and Tevo Tornado. It fits inside the top of the hot end and holds a short length of PTFE tubing pressed firmly against the nozzle, reducing the load on the bowden coupler teeth and helping to prevent filament leaks at the joint. PETG is a reasonable choice for this part, as it tolerates the heat in the upper hot end area better than PLA.

This mod// fix adds a spacer inside the top of hot end that allows a cut length of tubing to be lightly compressed against the nozzle. also taking the extra work of maintaining that seal away from the teeth in the bowden coupler.

See the post processing section for step by step instructions on putting the parts together.

There are verions currently for the following model hot ends, Ender-3, Ender-3 pro Ender-5 all use the standard ender .stl), CR10, cr10 V@ and V3 (CR10S Pro/Max at bottom of page). Tevo Tornado, Tronxy X5SA

I have added an .pdf that has the tools to calibrate your printer to adjust for your now improved flow rate.

added ,1mm length to all the standard type cut guages, due to many users getting under length cut without measuring the results. should not impact users significantly.
also added two more robust/thicker cut guages for those who want it more rigid in .4 and .6 blade width

5/15/2020
Added CR10S PRO V2 to the family. it has a throat that is apprx 3mm shorter than the original cr10s pro. So to prevent issues it warrants its own set of guide and spacer.

8/18/2020 added CR6 SE
