I just changed nozzles, should the ptfe tube be pushed all the way into the nozzle or pushed up into the extruder? Which end should be snug? Seems there will be a gap but where should it be?
I am wondering because I think this may be why after several hours of prints the old color is still contaminating the new color.

Looking good! You might make some careful measurements of the PTFE tubes that are provided with the kit. That way should you later desire to, you could make a jig to cut bulk PTFE tubing to size. Looks like they are doing everything possible to fully support/surround the filament with the PTFE tube for its entire length from the drive gear to the hot end.
Are those brass sleeves for the heater inserts?

Here is something I just tried while unloading my extruders for the upgrade. I started the unload from the control panel. I kept my finger on the tension lever or release as the extruder heated and a slight tension on the filament. At a certain temperature the filament all of a sudden released and with little effort I was able to pull it all out without problem. This actually worked well. I did not wait for the motor to do it but waited until the filament was soft enough to come out on its own.

Here it is! The first print from the Flexion! My access badge holder I designed. This is at the default QIDI profile settings for PLA except temp (bed - 60, extruder 190).
I have not cleaned it up at all. Straight off the printer. I do need to figure out how to get ride of the scar in the lower corner going toward the middle.

Please explain to me how to...
