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.

    I’ll say that it can lead to uneven extrusion and even skipped steps on your extruder. How much, and how much that amount matters is entirely dependant on the setup and your workflow.

    There are a few 3D printed solutions to keep filament tension neutral using a buffer system. It’s not a bad idea to check out some of them.
