Topic: Source for better bowden tube couplers?

Hello,

I am quite new to the 3D printing area but I got my CZ-1 2.0 working so far:

Yesterday after some grinding problems I wanted to reinsert the filament, when bowden tube couplers spit out a few
metal parts:

and do not hold the PTFE bowden tube anymore, so I cannot print now.

I know that there are some on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/Anycubic-3D-Druck … Z1XWREGTDG
but they look as cheap as the other broken ones.
On another site I read that
http://www.mcmaster.com/#7880t389/=supopz
should be good but again other people said that they are also crap.

Is there any source of longer lasting, more reliable bowden tube couplers?

Thx in advance

BUMP.
Got some new ones from the manufacturer, but they look different (left side = broken one, right side: new one):

and I still have no reliable source.
