Why is it Importat to Cut Bowden Tubes Perfectly?
The reason to cut the Bowden tube in a good way is to make sure the tube is perfectly fitting on your nozzle when you reassamble your hotend after disassambling. This is important, because of the fact that if the cut of the Tube is slightly angled or uneven it highly raises the chance of squeezing out filament between Nozzle and Bowden Tube -> blocked hotend/tube.
When should You use the gadget?
Everytime you got a blocked Hotend/Bowden end or you were disassambling it, you should take care about a good fit between Nozzle and Tube.
How to use it?
Simply choose the knife width you need (as less clearance as possible), choose the length of the cut and then cut through the slot.
