Bowden Extruder Question (US)
September 01, 2013 04:26AM
Hi!

First timer here. I'm getting parts for my extruder and I'm in the US. All the BOM I find for Bowden or Wade extruders have metric parts. I'm going to Lowes or Home Depot tomorrow.

I want to get thePTFE tubing for a 1.75mm filiment.

Also the Quick connect BSP connectors.

So what size tubing should I buy? ID/OD and length

Also what size connectors?

(obviously the same as the tube O.D.:-)

All the UK plans and BOMs refer to mm tubing and connectors./ I'm doubtful I will find those at the Home Depot.

Thanks

Maxi

Sorry, but home depot won't have PTFE tubing that small. I ended up ordering 4mm OD / 2mm ID tubing from seemecnc, and some amazon pushfit connectors.
