| At the upper end of the coupler is a movable metal part. To release the hose, it is pressed down while pulling on the hose at the same time. The couplers come from the compressed air technology and were not developed for use in the 3D printer. The filament generates a friction in the hose. As long as the filament moves in one direction, there are no problems. With the retract, however, it is quickly pulled back and transported forward again. This can lead to a clicking sound caused by the movable coupler top. | At the upper end of the coupler is a movable metal part.

| To prevent this noise, there is a simple solution. Mounting a cable tie, so that the coupler top stops moving, avoids the clicking sound. | To prevent this noise, there is a simple solution. Mounting a cable tie, so that the coupler top stops moving, avoids the clicking sound. | ||
