In this video, Keri will show you how to replace the Bowden tube coupling on the Flashforge Adventurer 3D printer. In this case, the coupling was stuck inside to the threaded insert, so it couldn't simply be unscrewed.
Please share your thoughts in the comments, especially if you have any useful tips and tricks for 3D printing.

Thanks! you helped me open up and unclog my ADV3 Bowden tube!!!
Thank you so much. I got the exact issue. Got resolved it now. Your video helped a lot. Love from India. :-)
So glad that we could help :) What are you 3D printing currently ?
Thank you for the fix and detailed video.
I literally was able to fix my printer with a new $4 part :)
You welcome Steve🙂 glad you where able to fix it.
Excellent Video. I've bookmarked this as I have exactly the same printer so I'm sure I'll have to do this at some point.
Ah awesome! How are you finding this printer? How long have you had it?
Woohoo! it worked! Thanks
Thank you for making this. It's good to know how to do this. I recently had filament get stuck in my PTFE tube and I had to cut the tube and pull this out. The "quick connect" didn't work! I accidentally pulled hard enough to pull the plastic quick connect out -- I had no idea what to do next. I bought replacement parts and I'm going to need to replace this coupling... your video will help!
I removed the connector easily with a wrench, it hadn't the same problem as yours. I had lots of dust and old filament strings in the connector and once they were removed it could once again load filaments. However I had to remove the tube from the connector and however i tried it wouldn't get back on again, kept popping up... So I superglued it and that seemed to work fine the first time. A few days later had same issue again (dust/old filament strings) and this time I guess I put too much superglue so now the black part of the connector is stuck to the connector... makes it a lot harder to screw it back on. After seeing your video I think next time I will cut off the tube and find some way to pull out the rest from the connector and hopefully solve the problem.
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you . I know I will use this later .. I have installed 30 adventure 3 printers in the local schools
Hi David 👋. Wow 30 that is so cool!! What age group are they? I wish our schools had 3d printers😅. Is it part of the curriculum?
@@PlumPot it is Elementary and middle schools primarily . Ages 7-13 . It has been a challenge but fun to get the teachers hooked.once they are it is easy to manage . The key is to help them get through a lot of what we see on this site . All printers jam ...ughhh and knowing how to deal with them takes time. I mentor them for free to help them get over the anxiety . Where are you located
That is really cool. Get the kids creative juices flowing🙂. Yea I remember how frustrated we go at the beginning it seems like there always something that goes wrong lol. I'm a South Afrifan who is living in the Netherlands👍. Do you guys also have an robotics/electronics club? Always intrested to see how the schools are all different all over the world.
I just watched the video and applied what you did to my own setup. Couple things I should point out that I found.
I just unscrewed the entire black casing that houses that brass. It made installing it a lot easier and like you I tried wedging it open to fit the nut. I actually think the manufacturer broke it. From what I could tell, the seem is not natural and almost seemed to snap without a hinge of any sort.
After installing the nut into the plastic frame, I reattached it and returned all parts and screws to their destination.
HOW DID YOU GET THE TUBE OUT
For some reason, I can't get the guider tube out. Do you have any suggestions to try to get it out? Even when I press on it to take it out. It just won't budge
Thanks for the rad video - very helpful. When I push the tube into the coupling, should it be hard to remove? Mine keeps slipping out. Am I missing something? Do I need a new coupling? :(
i am having the same problem. Tube keeps popping out, and i can't print. So i believe to fix this problem we will need to buy the bowden and install a new one. Seems like the coupling holds the tube into place. ughhhhh what a pain hu lol
Hello
I've the same issue after one month ussage... Where could I found a new Nozzle ?
I have the opposite problem: I can't remove the tube to clean the nozzle. Also, the right tools would have helped, but I think you'd still have had that problem with the insert coming out. Well done.
Hi Rabid :) Yea i think you are right lol thanks for your comment. Did you come right with the removal? What type of things are you printing with your FlashForge?
Use a size 10 spanner instead of pliers
Thanks for the advise!👍
My tube pops out as well and my nozzle was stuck on 300 and crazy over heat replaced nozzle was working fine but tube popped when I wasn’t home has to be this part
Ah man, sounds pretty much the same as what we went through :( Why dont you open the extruder case and have a look, let us know! We haven't had any trouble with the tube since doing this fix.
@@PlumPot I did fixed that problem but now after first 2-3 layers are fine the material seems to be over extruding and causing hang ups on material and grinding from nozzle not being able to clear pre exsisting layer I’m running it all off iOS iPad tinkercad app and polar cloud which has slicing software built in
I think that the black plastic mount that the brass fitting goes into is broken. You shouldnt be able to put a screwdriver in there to make it bigger so you will need to replace that too. Also if you are fitting brass fittings like this it is best to use a soldering iron to warm and press them in.
My extrusion rate was not messed with at all either so must be the connecter
Printing tpu right now such an headache
I still don;t know how you unscrewed the connector. Will not budge.
My FlashForge Adventurer 3 looks nothing like yours. There is no black collar to push down to remove the tubing, and the fan is raised higher than yours so that it blocks the nut collar to remove the coupling. I hope nobody else is having this nightmare!
Your casing looks like it cracked in the back (that dosent look like a natural seam).
I have modified the ender 3d printer
Nice :) we bought an out-of-the-box printer (Adventurer 3) so we haven't had much experience tinkering with one like that. Do you enjoy it?
@@PlumPot oh yeah it's fun 😁
Use a wrench if you cannot get the tube out and save yourself an hour
Omg thanks so muchhh you don’t understand
While I REALLY appreciate people sharing their experiences online, for all people that find this video, as I did tonight, in the hopes of getting an understanding on how to pull apart the printing head of the Flashforge Adventurer 3 to replace the collet, please don't use this video. There is a MUCH better one here: th-cam.com/video/NHVHN1l0H9c/w-d-xo.html
In this video, they leave the ribbon cable in, they operate on the print head while still installed in the printer (it comes out quite easily), the airflow guide gets broken when they try to twist it out, then they break it more to get it back in again...
Please: use the better video located here: th-cam.com/video/NHVHN1l0H9c/w-d-xo.html
To the original poster, I genuinely thank you for taking the effort, and trying to fill in for the lack of videos for this kind of thing, but this video should really be taken down, as it will lead to people breaking their printers...
