Installing the Bowden Tube

For this task you'll need the long PTFE Bowden tube that was included in the Hot End Pack.
The mesh in the hot end wiring loom will open up when you compress it. Grip the mesh about
2" above the heat shrink tubing and press down with the hot end on the table. This will open up the
mesh enough so that you can insert the Bowden tube. Insert the tube 1" from the upper edge of the heat
shrink tubing as shown below.

Thread the Bowden tube up the loom to a point
about 2-1/2" short of the PTF connector on the extruder.
Open up the loom at that point and allow the
Bowden tube to exit. Pull the tube through and insert it
into the PTF connection until it's fully seated.
