<p>I switched my Anet A8 over to a Bowden and it's printing great. Moving that weight off has enabled me to almost double the speed and resonance problems have vanished. </p>

<p>My question is regarding after the print is done should I add a retraction code and back the filament out of the v6 or is it okay to leave it in there?</p>

<p>My concern is that if I leave it in there, will it cause a clog or anything when I warm up the printer tomorrow to print something else? If that's not a something I should be concerned about let me know.</p>

The only "end of print" clogs usually occur when leaving the hot end hot for a while - allowing the filament to drip out - and then retract the filament without feeding it against the nozzle once more. That creates a plug that\'s larger than the filament diameter that might get stuck in the bowden tube</p>\n</blockquote>\n'}, {'answer_id': 11445, 'author': 'R..

I would leave it, retracting at most a mm or two just to avoid a mess. If you retract much at end of print, initial state for the second or later print is different from after just loading new filament, and this leads to different priming/skirt outcomes for the two cases, which can be problematic.</p>\n"}, {'answer_id': 11446, 'author': 'Tim Li', 'author_id': 18867, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/18867', 'pm_score': 0, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>After the completion of a print, remove the filament from the Bowden tube as it may break while not printing and can sometimes be difficult to remove.
