Features
- 100% Original Capricorn XS Series tubing.
- Capricorn PTFE is well regarded as the highest quality PTFE tubing in all of 3D printing. The tight tolerances make sure that the filament is lead directly to the hotend with as little room for error as possible between the extruder and the hotend. Capricorn PTFE XS Series is rated for withstanding the highest temperatures in the market which is perfect for printing exotic filaments such as ABS, Nylon, and Polycarbonate.
- PC4-M6 Couplers: thread M6/3mm, inner diameter 4mm, fit for the tube whose outer diameter is 4mm, made of premium copper and plastic, sturdy and durable. PC4-M10 Couplers: thread M10/6mm, inner diameter 4mm, fit for the tube whose outer diameter is 4mm, made of high qulity stainless steel and plastic, high hardness, antioxidtion, anti corrosion. The extruder fittings are PC4-M6 and the hotend fittings are PC4-M10.
- One PTFE cutter with an extra sharp razor is also included to ensure that the PTFE is cut flat on both sides to prevent any malfunctions or heat creep when feeding and retracting.

The Capricorn tubing is fairly durable and relatively flexible. And the package comes with a sufficient amount, that even if you're still using the Bowden extruder instead of a direct drive setup, you'd still have enough left over for some other printer projects. I've used mine to bridge gaps in the Micro-Swiss Direct drive Extruder plate setup on my Ender 3. It's dimensional accuracy is good, and it fits nicely into the throat of the bi-metal mk8 style heat break I'm using on my hot end. The cutter works well, and the addition of the 2 different size quick fittings adds quite a bit of value for the price. Outside of the normal assembly required for using the Bowden tubes, there really isn't any difficulty to mention.

This is a great all in one upgrade kit for any 1.75mm Boden style printer. The kit comes with 1 meter of Caprocorn PTFE tubing. It also includes 2 sets of PC4-M6 and PC4-M10 Pneumatic Fittings so you get a spare set of Pneumatic Fittings. The V tube cutter makes cutting the filament straight very easy and a straight cut is essential to ensuring you don't get any filament seepage which will cause clogs. Also Capricorn tubing has higher heat tolerances so it wont burn in the hot-end nearly as fast as the standard white stock tubing you get with your printer. Some people don't understand why it is important to get good quality boden tubes. Most white stock boden tubes comes with an inner diameter of 2.1mm. with a 1.75mm Filament this allows .6mm flex in the filament when being pushed by the extruder which means pushing 100mm in e-steps on the extruder could result in only 97mm actually reaching the hot-end due to the bending and flexing of the filament in the tube. This can cause under extrusion issues. Also with the bends in the filament inside the tube your retraction distance is actually not retracting but really only taking up the slack in the filament in the tube resulting in oozing from the nozzle and stringy prints. The capricorn tubing comes with an inner diameter of 1.9mm which greatly decreases the chance of the filament flexing in the tube so when you extrude 100mm, you actually get 100mm pushed and retractions is an actual retraction and not a take up of filament slack in the tube as it has no where to go. I have upgraded all of my boden printers to capricorn tubing. It is the easiest and most inexpensive upgrade you can do for your printer to increase its print quality. Purchasing from Sovol also provided super fast delivery as the items are in stock in the USA no waiting for overseas deliveries. Big outcome for such a small cost and worth every penny

The PTFE tubing shipped with your 3d printer can get the job done...for a while. Capricorn tubing is considered THE standard in 3d printing tubing. I have 2 printers, a Sovol SV01 and a Creality CR-10 S5 and they have both benefited from this worthy upgrade. The package comes with between 39 and 40 inches of tubing (was hard for me to measure), along with 4 Bowden connectors, a great tubing cutter, and a Capricorn card that was thick cardboard, and I wasn't sure if it was to be used as a weapon, z bed offset, or what. Anyway, I didn't try the Bowden connectors so I can't opine if they are an upgrade or same as OEM - 2 were smaller (for the extruder) and 2 were larger (leading to the hot end). I first used a whopping 19 mm of the tubing for my Sovol guide - on at least my original hotend, if you didn't use this little piece you simply could not print TPU - retractions would cause it to bunch up. 19 mm later, i had a short guide tube between the extruder entry/guide and the heat break top. It did make it SLIGHTLY harder to feed in PLA or other filaments, after a while you get the hang of it. Later, when I had a nice clog, i had to open the hot end completely (I recommend fiddling with your hot end as little as possible, those thermistor wires are EXTREMELY fragile). Anyway, you can see in the 4th photo, how the end of my 24.8 mm tubing was burned at the end. Per the website, Capricorn XS tubing's melting point is "up to 340" where OEM tubing can be as low as 220, and their TL tubing (which I've never seen) has a melting point up to 300. I generally print my Sovol SV01 at between 220 and 250 depending upon material. The Capricorn tubing has a curve to it from shipping, and when you want it straight it can fight you a bit, but should relax and straighten with time. Since I have installed the tubing in my Sovol, I've had virtually no jams, and I'm confident the higher temps won't break down the tubing. Note, if you want to print nylon or other high temp materials, the Capricorn tubing will break down, so for those you need an all metal hot end (which can be more prone to clogging for PLA, PETG, etc.) Regarding my CR-10 S5, the machine is still shiny, and I've only printed about 20 hours with it, but I made an "executive decision" - I don't like Bowden tubes. The Capricorn tubing would make a worthy upgrade versus the factory tubing - it is narrower, more precise, and has internal lubricants that allow material to move better - but I personally liken the Bowden tube design, like trying to light a match from a matchbox that is 4 or more feet away. Note, some folks say you can print better quality prints with a Bowden design - less weight on the head, etc. and you can dial in the settings - and I don't disagree - but for ME, direct drive is the name of the game. I converted my S5 to a direct drive, and replaced the Bowden tube in the hot end (similar to the Sovol 24.8 mm piece) with the 68.7mm piece shown in the photo. The included tubing cutter is a sharp razor type of blade that will destroy you if you aren't careful - however, if you mark the tubing with a magic marker or similar, you can cut that mark directly in half if you desire - it is accurate, and more importantly, it doesn't crush the tube. As a trial, i used sharp wire cutters, and they cut but deformed the tube - the tubing cutter was able to snip off the deformed part and make it snug again. I would only use the tubing cutter for Capricorn or PTFE tubing, so it stays nice and sharp. Even if you use the Capricorn as a Bowden tube, you will have plenty of excess which can go inside the hot end, as a major upgrade over the factory tubing. As a final statement, I unloaded the filament from my S5 before the direct drive upgrade, and removed the stock PTFE tube. I slide the distorted filament into the factory tube, and it went, though there was resistance pushing and pulling it. I couldn't even get it into the Capricorn tubing - that's when I realized Capricorn tubing has a smaller diameter than the white factory stuff. I snipped the distorted end of the filament, and all was fine again. In the photo, you can see the inner diameter comparison. Final thoughts - this is the best tubing out their for your 3d printer. If you have a direct drive unit, this will be helpful in the hot end and potentially at the extruder. If you have a Bowden, this will improve the filament feeding accuracy. If you have an all metal hot end the tubing won't help beyond that; if you do NOT have an all metal hot end this should go inside your hot end as soon as you are able - though I personally would wait until you have a clog and have to disassemble - as I said above, be leery of messing with your hot end as it is so easy to break the thermistor wires. It's also easy to introduce leaks, etc. if you don't tighten your nozzle or the parts adequately.

The tube is great, works exactly as expected. The tube cutter is not amazing, but gets the job done.
