Capricorn XS Series - Ultra-Low Friction PTFE Tubing - 1.75mm

Tighter internal diameter and high performance additives make this the perfect bowden tubing for flexible and high temperature applications!   Capricorn's XS Series PTFE tubing has become a popular upgrade for 3D printers using a "Bowden-style" extruder, where the motor is mounted on the frame of the printer and the filament is pushed through a long Teflon (PTFE) tube over to the nozzle.  Capricorn XS Series tubing is made from the highest quality pure virgin Japanese PTFE, and formed using a paste extrusion process with proprietary additives which lowers the coefficient of friction and increase the temperature resistance of the material. This additive also makes the tubing dark blue and opaque. Most standard PTFE bowden tubing on the market has an internal diameter of 2-2.1mm for use with 1.75mm diameter filament. In the early days of 3D printing the 2mm internal diameter was found to be a good size as most of the plastic filament manufacturers out there were used to producing filamen
