Greatly improved printer accuracy
The Creality Ender-3 V2 is a very good, entry level printer. To keep its price in the sub $300 range, it takes a few liberties with the quality of some of its components. Among these are the Bowden tube and its associated fittings. The Bowden couplers supplied with the unit are made with plastic teeth and, as a consequence, have a nasty tendency to wear out prematurely with sometimes catastrophic results on the print -- a common failure is for the Bowden tube to simply pop out of the coupler resulting in, if not attended, a jammed up tube with an aborted print or worse yet a spaghetti mass of filament. Even if they do not completely fail, there is enough play in the couplers to adversely affect the quality of the print as filament is fed and retracted with considerable slop in the feed rates.The Capricorn Premium Tubing kit solves these problems perfectly. The tubing itself has significantly less internal friction than the OEM supplied tubing, and the Bowden couplers use metal teeth instead of the original plastic, resulting in a tight and immovable grasp on the Bowden tube. As a consequence, there are no longer any failures where the tubing pops out of the coupler, and the "slop" in feed rates due to coupler slippage is totally eliminated. My prints are noticeably cleaner and sharper with the new tubing and fittings.Replacement is a piece of cake. Simply remove one screw from the housing containing the extruder fan; bring the unit up to temperature, release the original coupler's locking clasp and pull out the old tubing. Cut the new tubing to size, making sure to keep the ends as perpendicular as possible; attach the new couplers; insert the new tubing into the extruder assembly until it stops; and lock everything in place.It's a shame that Creality doesn't simply supply these parts with the original product. It turns an average 3D printer into a really superb and accurate unit.

Best Bowden Tube hands down
If you need to replace your Bowden tube on your 3D printer look no further.Capricorn makes the BEST bowden tube money can buy. PLUS, they give you the replacement parts and tools to install it, and a few FREE stickers to boot. What's not to like?very happy customer.Easy to install.Long lasting. Replaced mine on 4 printers over a year ago and have had zero problems since.well worth the money.

Must have for higher temps.
Great replacement for stock Bowden tube machines. Tighter interior clearance that eliminates bunching for the most part. Great to replace stock tube so you can print at higher temps without burning up the hotend.

Back online in no time.
I was very skeptical about buying this package. My printer isn't a Creality. But everyone kept urging me to buy these parts. I was impressed. two of each end to go in the extruder and the hot end. the little blue clips really made the whole reconnect fast and easy. Since Im usually printing at 210 Dgs I worry about my Bowden tube melting. this package took that worry away. I can use the PLA I like and not worry about damage to my printer.

Very nice product
O.K. I've read all the good as well as bad reviews of this tubing and can only comment on my experiences. I bought and installed this on a CR-10 as well as a Tevo Tornado and it has worked flawlessly. I have had zero issues running both cheap as well as expensive PLA and PETG thru this stuff and I truly believe it has improved the distribution of filament in both printers. I'm now a believer in this tubing

Good length!
Exactly as everyone says, smoother extrusion. The main thing I like about this and didn’t realize prior to ordering is that it comes with a good amount of tube. Using the same length as the original on my Ender 3v2, I only ended up using half. It’s nice to know that I have a backup if something happens.

Highly Recommended
The fittings provided in this kit eliminate all of the play that was in the original fitting closest to the extruder gear. It's as slick as they say it is, and mostly eliminated stringing issues I was experiencing with PETG. For my CR10 mini, this package came with twice as much tubing as I needed, which is a bonus.
