<p>I saw an extruder mod on Amazon <em>"EAONE 2 Pcs PTFE Teflon Tube (2 Meters) with 4 Pcs PC4-M6 Fittings for 3D Printer 1.75mm Filament (2.0mm ID/4.0mm OD)"</em>
Anybody know how this is fitted?  Is it simply tapping the feed hole on the top?</p>

The PTFE tube itself needs just to be fed through the hole in the fitting <strong>until it cannot go any further</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Failing to do so will most likely result in a clog and/or leaking.</p>\n\n<p>It is a self-locking mechanism, in order to release the tube you have to press <em>down</em> the plastic flange on top of the fitting while pulling <em>up</em> the PTFE tube.</p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 5622, 'author': 'mer2329', 'author_id': 10178, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/10178', 'pm_score': 0, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>that item is for a bowden setup.
