The tubing is built from Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), using the non-stick properties of PTFE together with the material's flexibility and chemical resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Bowden tubing is made for 1.75mm filament and uses a tight internal diameter to help the filament move with less drag while retaining the force needed for extrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features of Capricorn PTFE Bowden tubing for 1.75mm filament\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePTFE construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built from Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic polymer with non-stick characteristics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh flexibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retains the flexibility of PTFE, which helps reduce wear and tear during use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly chemical resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tubing is resistant to chemicals and would not react negatively with any type of filament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow coefficient of friction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduced friction helps filament travel through the tube more easily and supports print speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery high melting point:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PTFE material has a very high melting point as part of the tubing's performance profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTight internal path:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined with a 1.9mm inner diameter to reduce unwanted filament movement during extrusion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for perfectly roundness across the tubing's length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriction-reducing treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treated with a friction-reducing addictive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft filament support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for use with soft filament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Capricorn Premium Bowden Tubing\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2719\/6506\/files\/Capricorn_Premium_xs_series_2_grande.png?v=1549641097\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the XS Series helps resolve extrusion problems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Capricorn Bowden tubing XS Series is designed to help address common extrusion issues caused by friction and filament deflection inside the tube. Because the tubing delivers a low coefficient of friction, filament can pass through the tube without losing the force needed to extrude material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBowden pressure can sometimes bend filament before it exits the hot end. The XS Series tubing reduces the bending effects of pressure during extrusion by using a tight internal diameter, which drastically reduces filament bending as material is pushed forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use Capricorn XS Series Bowden tubing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis PTFE Bowden tube is suited to 3D printer users who want a filament path optimised for 1.75mm material, including setups where reduced drag and better control through the Bowden path matter. It is also a practical choice when printing with soft filament, where support through the tube can affect feeding behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Bowden systems using 1.75mm filament only, the Capricorn XS Series combines flexibility, chemical resistance, and low-friction performance in a tube designed to improve extrusion consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" alt=\"Capricorn Premium Bowden Tubing\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2719\/6506\/files\/Capricorn_Premium_xs_series_1_grande.png?v=1549641087\"\u003e","brand":"Capricorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54648078500115,"sku":"PTFE175XS","price":16.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/9610\/8563\/files\/Capricorn-Premium-PTFE-Bowden-Tubing-XS-Series-For-1.75mm-_1m_-Capricorn-38997539.jpg?v=1788373999","url":"https:\/\/filaments3dquebec.ca\/en\/products\/capricorn-premium-ptfe-bowden-tubing","provider":"Filaments 3D Quebec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
