Capricorn TL PTFE
Capricorn TL is a brandnew, innovative and specially for 3D printing designed high-end PTFE tube.
It is made from pure Japanese resin, transparent and is excellent for printing with chunky and abrasive filaments.
Compared to a standard PTFE, this tube offers unique advantanges and makes this product to a game changer in 3D printing.
Enjoy the benefits of a lightweight bowden extruder and the filament control of direct extruders.
Capricorn TL improves the extrusion behavior and is the perfect upgrade for many 3D printers.
