Ordered to see if the product stands true as advertised - correct size and working properly - a little stiffer than original but not a showstopper - i am comfortable ordering more for additional printers

Smooth Filament Feeding for Precise Printing
This PTFE tube is designed specifically for Bambu Lab P1P AMS and A1 mini 3D printers, facilitating smooth and reliable filament feeding. With a 2.5mm inner diameter and 4mm outer diameter, it guides the filament accurately to ensure consistent extrusion. Choose the optimal color to balance visibility and performance in your setup.
Material and Temperature Compatibility
The tubing comes in white, translucent gray (PTFE), and fully transparent (FEP) variants. White and translucent gray PTFE tubes offer the lowest friction and can withstand temperatures from 240°C up to 260°C, making them safe for internal hotend use. Fully transparent FEP tubes heat limit is 200-220°C and are intended only for cold-end feed paths due to their lower thermal resistance.
- White/Gray PTFE: low friction, max 260°C
- Transparent FEP: higher friction, max 220°C, cold-end use only
Important Usage Recommendations
Avoid fully transparent tubes in extruder feed paths on machines with filament resistance detection to prevent false jam alarms. PTFE tubes degrade if overheated; stay within recommended thermal limits and inspect tubing regularly due to wear risks.
- Do not use FEP tubes inside hotends
- Regularly check and replace worn PTFE tubes

Product FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01 What is the inner diameter of the PTFE tube?
The inner diameter of the PTFE tube is 2.5 millimeters, suitable for 1.75mm filament feeding.
02 What is the outer diameter of the PTFE tube?
The outer diameter of the PTFE tube is 4 millimeters.
03 Can I use a fully transparent PTFE tube for the extruder feed path?
It's not recommended to use fully transparent (FEP) tubes in the extruder feed path as they can trigger false filament jam alarms due to higher friction.
04 What colors are recommended for PTFE tubes in the Bambu Lab P1P AMS?
It is recommended to use white or translucent gray tubes, which provide lower friction and smoother filament feeding.
05 What is the maximum temperature for using white or gray PTFE tubes?
White and translucent gray PTFE tubes are safe for hotend internal use with a maximum temperature rating of 240–260°C.
06 Are transparent PTFE tubes suitable inside hotends?
No, transparent FEP tubes should only be used for cold-end feed paths and not inside hotends due to melting risk at high temperatures.
07 How often should the PTFE tube be checked or replaced?
The PTFE tube is consumable and subject to wear; regular inspection is recommended with timely replacement when wear is observed.
08 What is the role of the PTFE tube in 3D printing?
The PTFE tube reduces resistance and guides filament smoothly from the extruder to the hotend.
09 Do the PTFE tubes contain any high-concern chemicals?
No, these PTFE tubes do not contain any high-concern chemicals.
10 Is the PTFE tube compatible with Bowden setups?
Yes, white and translucent gray PTFE tubes offer a balanced smoothness and visibility ideal for Bowden extrusion systems.

Very good product
So smooth. it has the same properties at bambu lab’s gray ptfe tube which is more resistant for ams.
Slow to ship, as expected quality
This worked great and was the proper size i needed for my 3d printer no worries ordering this!
