Creality Low-Resistance Star-Shaped PTFE Tube (4M)
A worn or kinked Bowden tube shows up as small, consistent problems that are easy to blame on other things — a bit of stringing that wasn't there before, slightly inconsistent extrusion, colours that don't fully purge on a multi-colour print. The fix is usually just the tube, not the hotend.
Creality's tube swaps the usual round bore for a star-shaped inner channel, cutting contact area between the filament and the tube wall by around 30% versus standard PTFE. Less friction means smoother, more consistent filament delivery — especially noticeable on AMS/multi-colour setups and at higher print speeds.

What's included
One 4m length of PTFE tubing. Cut to length with a sharp blade or tube cutter — don't tear it, a clean square cut matters for a good seal at the fittings.
Fits
Any printer using a 1.75mm Bowden-style PTFE tube path — check your existing tube's outer diameter before ordering if you're unsure.
Warranty & support
Consumable wear part, so general wear isn't covered — but a length that arrives damaged, we'll replace.
Delivery & collection
Small and light, so this goes in our cheapest delivery band. Self-collection is free.
