Bambulab's wiki page about mods does NOT recommend using capricorn tubing. You can get capricorn PTFE with a 3.0mm ID and a 4.0mm OD though. They also recommend only 2.5mm ID if replacing the AMS tubing as well.
@@macdox69 Thanks! I think I will save that OG Capricorn for my Bowden printers. I still have the spare tubing that came with the AMS but considering I get errors for stuck filament quite regularly I will wait and see if I can solve the issue by trying to increase the radius of the bends before buying loads of 3mm ID Capricorn, I have already printed the top glass riser so the tube going to the hotend is no longer being squashed, but I am still getting the errors but not as frequent.
@@AndrewAHayes I purchased some of the larger Capricorn tubing for my P1S thinking it would be a QOL improvement before I saw Bambulab's recommendation against it. As I have no issues with my AMS, I'm holding off for now.
Hi, could you please explain why you're opting for tight tubing in a Reverse Bowden setup? That link is for a 2mm ID.
clear consise and close to zero bs
I have some of the original dark blue Capricaorn tubing, can I use this with my X1C and AMS or is the inner diameter to small?
