PTFE Bowden Teflon Tube 1.75 Filament 3D Printer, for Bowden Extruder
Product Features:
This Bowden Teflon Tube is a high-quality PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tube specifically designed for use in 3D printers. It is commonly used with Bowden extruders, which are setups where the extruder is mounted separately from the print head.
Benefits:
– Low friction coefficient for smooth filament feeding
– High temperature resistance up to 260°C, suitable for most filaments
– Chemically inert, preventing filament degradation
– Reduces clogging and improves print quality
Features:
– Inner diameter: 1.9mm ± 0.05mm (Optimized for 1.75mm filament)
– Outer diameter: 4.0mm ± 0.05mm
– Length: Available in various lengths (e.g., 1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters)
– Color: White (Standard color)
Key Usage Points:
– Easy installation: Simply insert the filament into the tube and connect it to the extruder and print head.
– Durable: Made from high-quality PTFE for long-lasting performance.
– Color options: Available in white or other colors to match your printer setup.
Additional Features:
– Smooth internal bore ensures consistent filament flow.
– Compatible with most 3D printers using Bowden extruders.
– Helps prevent filament jams and improves overall printing efficiency.
