This Transparent Star Shaped PTFE Tube combines the low-friction benefits of a star-shaped inner profile with a clear design that lets you see your filament as it travels through. The star-shaped geometry reduces contact between the filament and tube wall, cutting friction by up to 30% compared to standard round-bore tubes. The transparent construction makes it easy to visually monitor filament flow, spot blockages, and confirm consistent feeding—especially handy in Bowden setups, AMS systems, and multi-material configurations.
Key Features
- Transparent design allows visual monitoring of filament flow and potential blockages
- Star-shaped inner profile reduces filament contact area and friction by up to 30%
- Helps centre and guide filament for smoother, more consistent feeding
- High-purity virgin PTFE with excellent heat resistance up to 260°C
- Low coefficient of friction (as low as 0.03) for minimal resistance
Specifications
- Outside Diameter (OD): 4mm
- Inside Diameter (ID): 2.2mm
- Inner Profile: Star shaped
- Colour: Transparent/Clear
- Material: 100% Virgin PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

- Filament Compatibility: 1.75mm filaments (PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU, etc.)
- Sold By: The metre (select quantity for desired length)
Ideal For
- Bowden tube systems where monitoring filament flow is useful
- AMS and multi-material setups with long filament paths
- Troubleshooting feeding issues by visually confirming filament movement
- High-speed printing where consistent filament feed is critical
- Flexible filaments like TPU that benefit from lower resistance
The transparent star-shaped PTFE tube gives you the best of both worlds—reduced friction for smoother feeding and a clear view of your filament path. Sold by the metre, so you can order exactly the length you need. Simply select the quantity to match the number of metres required.
