Capricorn Bowden tubes are made from the highest quality pure virgin Japanese PTFE. These tubes have a tight internal diameter, which helps to reduce filament bending. The XS version is also made from the same material, with the secret sauce added for even greater performance. If you have any questions about Capricorn Bowden tubes, please contact our friendly and knowledgeable customer support team.

These tubos have the lowest atrito of any tubing on the market, with a value of 20% lower than typical PTFE. This means less motor effort and etapa loss. These tubes are also suitable for non-metal hotends, and they can withstand temperatures up to 275 oC.

The XS series is Capricorn flagship PTFE Bowden tubing and is regarded as the industry's best. It's made from a blend of proprietary additives and pure virgin PTFE. The result is ultra high lubricity and reduced friction. Additionally, Capricorn bowden tubes are manufactured to tight tolerances, which is important for successful prints in the Bowden system.

The premium PTFE bowden tube from Capricorn is a deep blue color and is designed to use 1.75mm filaments. It's also guaranteed to be the correct diameter and offers the lowest friction available in Bowden tubing. The low coefficient of friction helps reduce filament clogging and slippage and is resistant to chemicals.

Capricorn Bowden tubes are also less likely to have clearance issues, which are common with other types of Bowden tubes. The 2M version has a 1.95mm inner diameter and a 4mm outer diameter. This decreases the amount of wiggle room inside the tube and reduces the likelihood of buckling.

Capricorn Bowden tubes are available for 3D printers. Capricorn is the only company that manufactures PTFE specifically for 3D printers. Capricorn's XS model has a consistent PTFE content that provides consistent performance in 3D printers. This makes it the ideal 3D printing material.
