  This fix is absolutley essential - it prevents filament leaks between the bowden tube and nozzle which can cause major clogs and inconsistent extrusion (the bane of every ender owner’s existance).

  What does that actually do?

  I’ve not had any issues without it on my E3v3

    It’s just a washer that goes inside the hotend and prevents the PTFE tubing from moving back and forth inside it, and prevents leakage inside the hotend.

      Ah, okay. Mine’s direct drive so probably doesn’t need that.

  I haven’t printed anything yet. Just did the hotend replacement and my bed is apparently overheating now. Wheeee.
