Description of Creality Upgraded Extruder with Capricorn Pneumatic System

It's 100% Creality Original Upgrade Assembled Extruder Hotend. Original Capricorn XS Serious Bowden PTFE tubing with lowest friction 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.

There is no junction box for the heating element.

They offer a lot of great stuff but be sure to order the junction box for the heating element as it only comes with a thermometer.

I went ahead and spent the money to buy a set of JST connectors but I…
