1M PTFE Tube for Extruder and 1.75/3mm Filament 1.75mm Transparent (2*4)
1.75 mm Transparent (2*4) and 1.75/3 mm Filament 1.75 mm 1M PTFE Tube for Extruder:
- This is a one-meter polytetrafluoroethylene tube, also known as PTFE.
- It is mostly utilized as a guide tube for 3D printing filament that feeds into the extruder head because of its non-stick qualities.
- It's the finest option if you're seeking for PTFE tube to transfer 1.75mm ABS, PLA, or other 3D printing filament.
Specifications:
- Material: Made of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a high-quality plastic with low friction and excellent heat resistance.
- Dimensions:
- Outer diameter: 4mm
- Inner diameter: 2mm (specifically designed for 1.75mm filament).
- Length: 1 meter (1M).
- Compatibility: Compatible with 1.75mm filament (the inner diameter of 2mm ensures smooth feeding of the filament).
- It is also usable with 3mm filament, but the inner diameter is more optimal for 1.75mm.
- Colour: Transparent (clear) colour, allowing for easy visibility of the filament inside the tube.
- Function: Serves as a filament guide tube, directing filament from the spool to the extruder, and ensuring smooth, consistent feeding.
- The low-friction PTFE reduces wear and tear on the filament and minimizes resistance during extrusion.
- Temperature Resistance: Can withstand temperatures up to 250°C, making it suitable for most filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, and more.
- Flexibility: Flexible and bendable, making it easy to install in various 3D printer setups while maintaining enough rigidity to avoid kinking.
- Applications: Commonly used in Bowden extrusion systems, where the extruder is mounted away from the hotend, and the filament needs to be guided to the nozzle via the tube.
- Common Use: Primarily used in 3D printers, but also applicable in CNC machines and other filament-based extrusion systems.
