Label:Yes
Tube Length:4 Meters
Outer diameter:4mm(0.16in)
Inner diameter:2.5mm(0.10in)
Name:3D Printer Feeding Tube with Cutter
Clear Tube Material:FEP
White/Grey Tube Material:Teflon PTFE
Package included:
4 Meters Long Feeding Tube
1 x Cutter
or
3 x Connecting Tube Union
Important Notice (Critical!!!):
Avoid fully transparent tubing for extruder feed paths, especially on machines with filament resistance detection. Clear tubes may trigger false alarms when the system detects resistance, mistakenly indicating filament jams.
Recommended: Prioritize white or gra tubing-these offer significantly lower friction for smoother feeding.
Guide to Tubing Color Selection
Clear (FEP Material):
Higher friction (not as smooth as PTFE).
Trade-off: Visibility vs. performance. Choose only if visual monitoring is essential.
Max Temp: 200-220°C.Not safe inside hotends (use only for cold-end feed paths).
White/Gray (PTFE Material):
Lowest friction (most popular choice).
Max Temp: 240-260°C.Safe for hotend internal use, but do not exceed rated temps.
Warnings
1. Never use FEP tubes inside hotends-they will melt at printing temperatures!
2.PTFE tubes (white/gray) degrade if overheated-stay within their thermal limits.
Pro Tip: For Bowden setups, White and translucent gray PTFE balances smoothness and moderate visibility.
(Note: Colors correlate to material properties-choose based on application, not aesthetics!)
Suggestion: Please choose according to your needs.
Tips:
1.Due to the light and monitors effect,colors may have lightly difference.
2.Please allow slightly size errors due to manual measurement.Thank you for your understanding!
