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.

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
