    Careful when you open the package. Mine came with a longer tube for repairs.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    There are replacement silicon tubes available. Not the teflon rubbish...

    I've just tried a bit of model aircraft silicone fuel pipe on my blue solder sucker and it now works a lot better. The original teflon tube needs shortening a bit so the nozzle / fuel tube can be cleared of solder. Clear silicone fuel tube would be better.

    That's a great idea!

    After cleaning the tube, what do you use for lubrication?

    Never needed to lubricated it. Oil will clog up the bits of solder instead of them being ejected.
