Should I get a new PTFE tube?
Hello,
I lost the upper upper ptfe tube from my i3 mk3, but so far my prints(Prusa PLA) seem to have been ok anyway.
Should I get a new (upper) PTFE tube? What is the point of this tube?
Thank you for your time and best regards Sebastian

This tube directs the filament into the filament sensor and reduces the chances of filament snagging on the edges of the intermediate joints
it also prevents wear on the black plastic parts
