Description of Capricorn Extruder by Creality 3D - Assembled for Optimum Performance

It's 100% Creality Original and Creality-Capricorn PTFE Tubing. Upgrade with Low Friction Creality-Capricorn Original Teflon Tube 40CM. Hotend replacement parts suitable for ender 3, ender-3x, ender-3 pro, Ender 3 V2 3d printer. High Lubricity Additives make our XS Series tubing the lowest friction Bowden tubing on the market. Less friction means more responsiveness, less retraction, more accurate prints, less slippage, wear, and tear on the extruder, and less clogging when printing chunky filaments such as some woodfills or ironfills. Lower retraction means time saved every time the extruder retracts. Over the course of a print, a few milliseconds here and a few there add up to a lot of time saved. Creality-Capricorn tube is far superior to the white PTFE tubing supplied with most 3D printers. Its much smoother to feed filament through. And when printing it reduces the drag on the extruder giving a much smoother travel and print quality.

Very close to OEM, prints exactly the same almost exactly the same PID

This hotend assembly is almost identical to my original Ender 3 Pro parts. A small (a little uncomfortable) difference is the exact size of the tapered thread that the Bowden tube coupling attaches to. The coupling must be twisted further than the original. This wouldn't be a problem for most, but in my case I made a "Hot Fix" mod. (Google it). And that doesn't work either. Also some other small differences. The Phillips head screw on the original thermometer has been replaced with a flat head…

Pros
  • Slip additives make our XS series hose the lowest friction Bowden hose on the market. Less friction means more responsiveness, less pullback, more accurate printing, less slippage, extruder wear, and less clogging when printing with coarse filaments like some wood or iron fillers. Less retraction means time saved each time the extruder retracts. In the printing process, a few milliseconds here and a few there add up to a huge time saver.
Cons
  • Vanish

low quality. Best Product for Additive Manufacturing

I just installed this item and found that the temperature sensor is not recognized. He recorded the temperature because he had a broken wire when I checked the resistance. I then encountered the issue of replacing the temperature sensor with a spare sensor which solved my problem. However, after trying to start printing, I found that the heating element takes forever to heat up the fuser. It took so long that my printer gave an error because it never reached the set temperature. Out of…

Pros
  • Creality Capricorn tubing is far superior to the white PTFE tubing that comes with most 3D printers. It is much more convenient to feed the thread. And when printing, the extruder resistance is reduced, resulting in a much smoother ride and print quality.
Cons
  • Not sure

Affordable Quick Fix Broken Hot End

Pre assembled so you can't break it yourself, perfect if you break your existing one. I use an Ender 3v2 and it failed for months after trying to upgrade to all metal MicroSwiss and the brass atomizers went sour. The bolts were snapped, the wrench was bent, and I haven't been able to put on anything that fits my life, and when I could, the hot end wasn't heating up properly. I spent over eighty dollars on all of these parts and pieces and figured it would be best to just throw them away - and…

Pros
  • This is a 100% genuine Creality and Creality-Capricorn PTFE hose.
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived
