Rated with 1 out of 5 stars.
I installed this tube into my printer, and it only caused problems. The hole inside is misaligned against the outer shell. It makes the filament hard to move on the joints with an extruder or hot end. I used before cheap Chinese PTFE, and they perform outstandingly in comparison to this. Waste of money.
Here is a link to a picture I took which clearly shows the issue: https://photos.app.goo.gl/34GvhLqp3gqwTgFg9Was this rating helpful? (17) (3)

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
Switched from some generic tube to this one and the difference was instantly obvious. Filament slides much much easier inside it which is advantageous even in case of a reverse-bowden build
Too bad it is not available in different colors or transparent..Was this rating helpful? (0) (0)
