Are you sure there's nothing in the bowden tube? I had the same issue when I got mine and there was some filament in the bowden despite me just having taken it out the box
#IT WONT INSERT :(

Are you fully pushing in the handle thingy when putting it through the initial hole?
rain hemlock
Don't do that, only push it in enough to get the filament through

No thank you. So you're 100% sure there's nothing in the bowden tube, right?
Try angling the filament down a bit as you're pushing it into the tube with the handle pressed, if that doesn't work someone else might know the answer

trying all of that,
moving the spool, bending filament.
twisting and turning.
it just curves around the metal disc thing

It helps me to unscrew the entrance to the tube then put it over the filament
Sometimes it refuses to go in otherwise

you mean the pnuematic part?
north palm
Maybe new tube then

....... now im not certain if you are trolling or arent understanding the question or issue im having.
north palm
Yeah i dont understand then

Not this again
Remove the bowden tube brass thing here from the place it sits in put your plastic through the casing, then feed your fillament through the brass and into the bowden tube
then guide your fillament in, then hand screw it in again

The tube might be deformed. Try cutting the filament at an angle with the cutter the printer came with

as I mentioned the fastest way is to cut the filament at an angle.. slide it in and if you can't one shot it slide to to the screw and slowly release the lever to help it align to the hole.. then press the lever and attempt to thread it.

please close / remove/ end ticket, ty for your answers

seems legit

once again this video is making it easier than it is for me
no matter how much i cut filament, turn, twist, bend, etc.
its curving around the metal disc.
errant hollow
ah
yea this happens a bit
errm generally I recut it, try bend it to the right a bit, and just make sure that you're not forcing the fillament up until it's guided itself to the hole
you can move it around a bit without putting force on it to find the hole when it's partially in

Hmm
just try some more there's not really much else I can help you out in terms of tips

Like he can lighten the force of the extruder wheel and the extruder gear but that wouldn't help him if he's already holding the fillament opener thing?
restive mauve
it would help that way i can guide it in with a tooth pick
theres no room for the tooth pick to help me guide it in

expanding that hole is a bad idea
kind sluice
Would help yes
errant hollow
yeah
full breach
yep

Straighten the end piece before your insert it
The force of the idler usally bends it a little
restive mauve
done so both many times.
lol
yeah im stupid, i had glow in dark filament in it, before someone put it in for me.
BUt heard that it ruins the heat end nozzle
errant hollow
done so both many times.
and if you put it in the opposite way, outside going in, goes in fine?
nothing blocking the way
restive mauve
correct
errant hollow
Ok well then must be the end catching
🤭
you just gotta bend it until the end goes into the hole
