Experience print quality you never thought possible with our flagship PTFE Bowden tubing! Meticulously engineered for 1.75mm filaments with precision 1.9mm inner and 4mm outer diameter. The Ultimate Upgrade for Precise Printing

Why Serious Makers Choose Our XS Series

Our proprietary blend of high-performance additives takes standard PTFE to extraordinary levels. This isn't just another Bowden tube—it's the cornerstone of print quality your projects deserve.

Unmatched Precision
Perfectly round profile throughout the entire length
Exact diameter consistency for superior filament control
Enhanced lubricity for dramatically reduced friction
Exceptional performance with flexible filaments—no more binding!

Flexible filaments that previously jammed now print flawlessly. Layer lines become crisper. Retractions become more precise. Your printer performs to its true potential.

Each 1-meter length comes with a Capricorn sticker to proudly display on your printer—because when you've upgraded to the best, why not show it?

Simply put: This is hands-down the best Bowden tubing available for home 3D printers.

^♠Pulling Friction is calculated as the average force required to pull 1.2 meters of 1.75mm PLA filament through 1 meter of tubing at a constant speed, relative to 1 meter of cheap white reference tubing. Note that although we observed the friction of the TL series to be about the same or even slightly lower than our XS series, it also has a larger internal diameter.

^§Other Bowden tubes may vary significantly in stiffness, depending on the material from which they're made. Our tubing generally tends to be more flexible than most, with the TL being more flexible than XS.

^¥Young's Modulus (YM) is the measure of elasticity of the material. Our XS Series additives give the PTFE a slightly greater YM than the TL Series.

^♥Temperatures were approximated by heating samples of all tubing simultaneously, observing how quickly each one began to deform. Printer failures may happen at significantly lower temperatures.

Printing high temperature materials may create dangerous off-gassing. Please refer to the Safety Page.
