Replacement for blue ptfe tube K1

[misiekmgo]

After receiving k1 it worked perfectly. But when I used the cr-series silk blue creality filament the pronter clogged. A piece of filament was tuck in the heat break. This needed some fiddling around the blue tube which did not get significantly damage. Although filament got stuck in the throat 2 more tomes and in the tube. Now after trying to unclog it, its completely unusable. Does anypne know a kind of DIY replacement? I need to wait a couple of days for the capricorn one.

You can use any PTFE tube as long as it’s straight.
Make sure to cut the piece to the exact length when you replace it. If it’s a tiny bit too long the extruder motor won’t set in very well. I clean the ends up so the filament won’t catch when you are feeding it in.

K1 Max Extruder/Heater/Blocked?

I would strongly suggest dropping your temperature to 180 when retracting the filament out of the machine, this should prevent the filament getting too gooey and sticking to the PTFE tube. If you need to replace the tube you should be able to replace it with some Capricorn tuning that is readily available online and usually also available from the creality store. It will just be a case of cutting a piece the same size as the one in the hotend and swapping them out.
