Review on SIQUK Fittings PC4 M10 Connector Filament by Marc Gallner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not my first choice for a Bowden extruder. Good for dry box feeding system.

I bought these to run from my dry boxes to the extruders on my printers. Fittings are acceptable, although I added a chamfer to the brass end to prevent the filament from dangling when loaded. Having got used to Capricorn XS tubes on my main XY printer (my other printers are direct drives with Bondtech BMG extruders and E3DV6 hot ends) I can't say I use this tube in a Bowden system would use. I don't feel like it's the same quality and the inner diameter isn't made to the same tolerances. However, it worked well enough for my needs and was a little cheaper than a comparable lot of Capricorn tubing and fittings. I had to leave it in front of a heater to heat it up and hang it on one end and weight the other end to straighten it. Before that, it had a lot of memory, and the filament was too cumbersome to go through the bends. However, given the cost and application, this is acceptable.

Pros
  • Warning - small 3D printer accessories, please keep away from children
Cons
  • I'll write later
