I hate buying something twice! With a failing tube to fitting connection on a regular basis, the best fix seemed to be buying new parts. These parts are not too expensive but this adds up over time, some people reporting a need to replace these parts as much as once a month. On a larger scale, we are all producing a greater amount of waste than is needed and I believe it is worth fixing.

This is the best and cheapest solution that I have come up with, it uses as many of the original parts with only a small amount of modification needed, or to purchase a ready-made piece at around $2.50. The tools should be readily available for anyone and the process is safe and simple.
Movement at this location causes a problem with the precision/timing of the filament being extruded. The tolerances of the extrusion and retractions are affected and the printer cannot be as precise as we may want it. This connection is also prone to complete failure over time, which will ruin a print somewhere down the line.
I have come up with a no-heat solution because this tube when heated can emit toxic fumes which have been known to kill small animals and cause respiratory problems in humans. Thank you for the comment to make me aware of this, I hope that this provides a safter long-term solution to the problem.
