Hi,
I'm currently using the E-RV printhead version and find myself noticing some issues with the bowden from the hexnut to hotend configuration.
The bowden cutout seems to be 4.1 mm in diameter but in my observation several bowden tubes have a tolerance to their outer diameters (in my case i have some ranging from 4.12 to 3.98).
When the bowden is not correctly imprisoned and constrained by both front and back halves, it seems that as volumetric speed rises some material builds up inside the hotend's radiator at the interface between the bowden tube and itself...
In this case, the hex nut is slightly pushed upwards (which might lead to some issues later i imagine) and printing gets harder as this build up increases.
I'm currently trying to find some solution in order to prevent this from happening that does not require proper bowden outer diameter. I was thinking about closing the canal like on picture below.
Maybe this could also work with an insert instead of the nut that would help block the bowden inside of the part.
Do you guys see any problem with the proposed solution ? I'm going try it out and keep this issue updated as i go along.
