No I did not. I just squeezed them in the best I could. I ordered some that look like they might work but we had a postal strike (Canada) and well it is in the mail (somewhere)

Did you figure this out? I have a similar problem. The extra hotend collets I had for E3D are bigger and don't really fit the side sensor.

They're likely standard Bowden collets, but it's best to check the diameter and compatibility with your printer. Most 3D printer suppliers carry replacements.

I am not too familiar with bowden parts so I ask the community for advice (do not want to sit on the phone for that long for this simple question.)
I need to replace a couple of the collets on my side sensor (yes I got a bit to aggressive and pushed them out and damaged them putting them back in.)
Are these special collets? or just regular ones?

Thanks

That is my problem. Yes it look like that but it is not for the hot end. I require ones for the side sensor and well I hate to assume they are the same? I assume they are the same though, just the online ones at amazon have a clip. Not sure if that makes a difference. If I require ones like your link has I do not see them on amazon.
thanks

To clarify - you are looking for this part - right?
