For reference, I like to keep my printer as close to stock as possible. I have had problems with the extruder side Bowden fitting and have replaced the tube and the fitting as well. That is covered in a separate video. I've also upgraded to stiffer bed springs to apply a little more pressure on the leveling knobs in hopes to not have to re-level the bed (so far so good).
