I have a acquaintance asking me questions about his new Ender 3 3D Printer.

He wants to know why the filament does not travel thru the feed tube to the nozzle.

As I do not know which hot end he has, assume it looks like one of these shown

hope it look like the first one , believe this is an easy fix, just replace the throat Teflon tube.

Now this one is not one I have worked on before, would appreciate help to fix if filament will not reach the nozzle as to how to repair.

Not sure about the newer ones, but Ender 3 and Ender 3 Pro were the 2nd one, the red one. A few possibilities are, of course, a clog in the nozzle, heatbreak, or bowden tube. Another possibility is to have him disassemble the extruder. Many times issues like this can be caused by the plastic extruder assembly being worn out or cracked. In this case, an aluminium replacement would be a good idea.

Here is an Amazon link as example.
