High Quality Ground Tubing Kit with Fast Shipping

This is a great universal upgrade kit for any Boden 1.75mm printer. The kit includes 1 meter of Caprocorn PTFE tubing. It also includes 2 sets of PC4-M6 and PC4-M10 pneumatic connectors, so you can get a spare pneumatic connector set. The V-shaped pipe cutter makes it very easy to cut the thread straight, and a straight cut is important to ensure you don't get damaged. Filament leakage, resulting in clogs. Also, Capricorn tubes have higher temperature tolerances, so they won't burn at the hot end nearly as fast as the standard white tubes that come with your printer. Some people don't understand why it's important to get quality ground tubes. Most white soil tubes have an inner diameter of 2.1 mm. With a 1.75mm filament, this allows for a 0.6mm bend in the filament as it is pushed through by the extruder, meaning that pushing 100mm with the extruder pitch can result in only 97mm actually doing that reach hot ends as the filament bends and bends. in the pipe. This can cause extrusion problems. Also, as the filament bends inside the tube, your pullback distance doesn't actually decrease, it actually just compensates for the filament sagging in the tube, which leads to nozzle bleed and fibrous prints. The Capricorn tube has an inside diameter of 1.9. mm, which greatly reduces the likelihood of bending the filament in the tube. So if you push out 100mm you actually push out 100mm and the pull in is the actual pull in and doesn't compensate for the slack in the pipe as there is nowhere to go. converted all of its ground printers to Steinbock tubes. This is the easiest and most affordable upgrade you can make to your printer to improve print quality. Buying from Sovol also ensured super fast shipping as the items are in stock in the US without having to wait for shipping abroad. Great result for so little money and worth every penny

Pros
  • Capricorn PTFE is recognized as the highest quality PTFE tubing in all 3D printing. Tight tolerances ensure that the filament is fed directly to the hot end with the least possible error between the extruder and the hot end. The Capricorn PTFE XS series is designed to withstand the highest temperatures on the market, ideal for printing exotic filaments such as ABS, nylon and polycarbonate.
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model.
