Hi, I have printed a small holder for a Bowden tube to print from my filament dryer outside of the enclosure, but the filament coming out of the tube is tensioned and I don’t know if it will cause problems later. Is this fine to keep or how can I fix this? This i a Ender 3 V3 SE btw.

    Yes, that will cause problems. Don’t attach it to the frame. Attach it directly to the toolhead.

      I think you saw what I saw. The tensioned Bowden tube going from the tool head to the frame. While that might be a problem I think he asked about something else. I only caught that after reading the other comments. But correct me if I am wrong :)

        In the picture is no tube going to the toolhead. The white line you see is the filament. The Bowden tube is only connected to the frame. That means that every time the toolhead moves to either side, it will tug on the filament. potentially creating artifacts in the print and maybe even causing underextrusion and slipping extruder gears.
