K1 Max extruder PTFE tub fitting


What is this fitting called and were can I get one? I pulled on it and it fell a part.
Thank you!

I believe it’s called a PTFE Pneumatic Connector that unfortunately on this extruder is a press fit. No easy way to replace it. I guess you could drill it out and figure out a way to replace it but it would be much easier to just get a new extruder.

Most other extruders it screws in.

Thank you, I was figuring that so I did order a new extruder. I’ll take the fitting out of that one and put in the one I have now till I need the new extruder. I did find these 2 fittings, going to see if they fit and work.

You won’t be able to take that piece out without a hassle so I would use the new extruder as is and take the old one apart for parts such as for gears which I’ve seen break teeth sometimes. Good to have spare gears.

Make sure the extruder you ordered has that white connector as it’s the upgraded one with other improvements built in.

Ok, I will thank you for you help.
