Choosing Fittings
Choosing FittingsFrequently Asked Questions How To Install Choosing Your Tubing Measuring Your Filament
Fittings tend to wear out and loose teeth, so its never a bad idea to swap in new ones when you change your Bowden tube.
What are the differences between them?
First, the size of the tubing it accepts. Bowden tubes for 1.75mm filament are 4mm outer diameter. Part numbers beginning with PC4 indicate "Push Connector 4mm"
The next difference is threading. Most Bowden systems use either an M6 ("Metric 6mm"), M5, or M10 thread. 01 Threading is also common, which is a 1/8 inch NPT thread. The distance between the threads is called the pitch.
The third thing to look for is whether the fitting allows the tube to pass all the way through.
We now carry 01NPT and M10 threaded fittings in both styles. Note that some fittings can be modified to allow the tube to go all the way through by careful drilling. For 1.75 tubing, use a #19 (4mm) drill bit. For 2.85 tubing, use a 1/4" drill bit.
Which fitting is right for me?
The easiest way it to look closely at the pictures, paying close attention to the measurements. We are working to build a list of printers for each fitting size, but it isn't complete yet. Please help us out by emailing or tweeting at us, and let us know what printer you're running, and what fittings it uses.
Don't see your printer listed here? Help us build our database by emailing [email protected] or tweeting @CapTubes with pictures and measurements of your fittings.PC4-M6PC4-M6 fittings feature a 4mm opening, and M6 threading with a 1.0mm pitch. This is our most popular fitting, used by the Creality CR-10 (extruder end), and many of the newer RepRap printers. Note that this fitting does not allow the tube to pass all the way through. We also carry a PC4-M6-C, which is a more compact, lightweight version. | |
PC4-M6-CThis is the Compact, lighter weight version of the PC4-M6.They feature a 4mm opening, and M6 threading with a 1.0mm pitch. Packed into a sleek housing measuring only 8 mm in diameter and 16 mm long (compared to 10x20mm for the full size version.) | |
PC4-M10x0.9-4.1*New in stock 8/2018* The M10 threaded fitting with 0.9mm pitch is used by the Creality CR-10 at the Hot End side. It has a 4.1mm opening at the back end that allows the tube to pass all the way through to the hotend. | |
PC4-M10x1.0 and PC4-M10x0.9M10 threaded fittings available with 0.9 and 1.0mm pitch, for 4mm tubing. This is used in some of E3D's hot ends, and TEVO printers. Note that there are several versions of the M10 fittings. Be sure to check the pitch of the threads for the best fit.. These do NOT allow the tube to pass all the way through, like the CR-10. (those are above) M10x0.9 fittings can also be used on the CR-10 by cutting an additional piece of PTFE to go on the other side of the fitting, down into the hot-end for a 'quick disconnect' style set-up similar to the Monstah adapter. | |
PC4-M5This is another common size for RepRaps, and is utilized in the Monstah Adaptor for the popular HE280 hotend.It has a 0.9mm pitch M5 thread, and does not allow the tubing to pass all the way through. | |
PC4-01 NPTThis fitting has an 1/8 inch NPT thread. This is similar to an M10 except with a slight taper. 01 and M10 threads are so close that they can often be used interchangeably.Note that these do not allow the tube to pass all the way through. ) | |
PC4-01 NPT-4. 1This fitting has an 1/8 inch NPT thread. This is similar to an M10 except with a slight taper. 01 and M10 threads are so close that they can often be used interchangeably. This version has a 4.1mm back end that allows the tube to pass all the way through to the hotend. These are used in the Stacker S4 printer. ) | |
PC6-M10This is an M10 threaded fitting for our 6.35mm tubing, for 2.85mm filaments.Note that these do not allow the tubing to pass all the way through. | |
PC6-M10-6.2This is an M10 threaded fitting for our 6.35mm tubing, for 2.85mm filaments.Pre-drilled to allow the tubing to pass all the way through. Please Note: we have marked these out-of-stock as of 2019. | |
Monstah AdapterDirect from Mastermind Sarah from New Zealand; we introduce you to the Official Monstah Adapter. Working with Sarah, Capricorn is your Premiere North American distributor. Only seems “fitting” we pair the adapter with our premium XS tubing to provide the best defense against the infamous HE280 puck! What is the HE280 puck? If you’re unfamiliar with the HE280, it’s a hotend offered by another wonderful Hoosier company, SeeMeCNC; unfortunately, it can be a challenge to get the PTFE tube seated properly against the heat break to prevent pooling of plastic from forming, aka the dreaded puck! The puck leads to feeding inconsistencies, jamming, and loads of colorful words shouted over another failed print. Time to “Scare the Puck Out!” and outfit your HE280 with an Official, Capricorn XS enhanced, Monstah Adapter! |
What if I accidently purchase the wrong fittings?
Please contact [email protected] and we will provide instructions to return the un-used fittings for an exchange or refund.
What if you don't carry the fitting I need?
We are constantly expanding our selection to meet the needs of the community.
Please tweet us @CapTubes or email [email protected] with your printer or hotend, and the specs of the fittings you need.
Frequently Asked Questions How To Install Choosing Your Tubing Measuring Your Filament
All fittings are evil. But there is a solution!

It so happened that pneumatic connectors for bowden tubes (bowden) for 3d printers, such as PC6 / 4, became the gold standard. In general, the solution looks quite convenient. You just need to insert the tube and you're done! You can also attach a tie to secure the connection more firmly.
But not everything is so smooth. Inside such a fitting is a serrated ring that cuts into the tube in a circle and eventually gnaws deeper until it cuts a groove for itself. Which in the future not only prevents the removal of the tube, but also adds backlash, in some cases it can even bite the tube.
nine0003
The most unpleasant thing is backlash. Pneumatic connectors do not imply backlash-free fastening. Of course, you can first insert the tube, and then screw the fitting back on. This will push the tube against the gap between the throat/nozzle and the retaining ring inside the fitting. But there are pitfalls here too. Without calculating the force, you can jam the end of the tube and it will be difficult for the filament to pass. And the fitting will bite even harder into the tube and it will be almost impossible to pull it out. In hard conditions, for example, on high-feed flying extruders, backlash appears quickly enough. nine0003
And on hot ends with a through neck, micro backlash inevitably causes gaps with melted plastic or even plugs.
In general, despite the apparent simplicity, pneumatic connectors are a real evil.
Many enthusiasts came up with different ways to solve this problem with the help of "crutches". but I didn't like any of it.
I also know that for example tringllab and others sell their fittings (expensive infection) and if you go through the reviews, you can see that they do not solve the problem. nine0003
There are also printed variations, where the tube is clamped with a printing collet. It looks bulky, and since Teflon is soft and slippery, it can either slip out or pinch the tube (for a long time I could not understand why the filament is pushed through so badly). Also, the prusa mini was sold with a collet clamp, although judging by the forums they encountered the same problems and now they are trying to install hydraulic fittings. Also, the collets do not allow the tube to rotate freely, and this can add other loads when moving the print head, since the tube is constantly subjected to twisting forces. nine0003
For a long time the brain could not calm down in search of a solution. I set myself the following requirements for fixing the tube:
1) Do not give backlash
2) Free to rotate
3) Do not damage the tube during prolonged use
4) Easy to manufacture without complicated tools
5) Low cost
And here's what I came up with:
The first thing to do is print out of PETG or PLA this cylinder, the outer radius of which will be about 6.
45mm, and the inner radius of 3.8mm, the height is about 7mm. if the printer/nozzle allows, you can print very slowly in the "vase" mode. nine0003
Next, you will need to push the threads inside this cylinder with an m4 screw. Tapers cannot be used. Dimensions may vary slightly, it will be clear later why.
Preparing the tube. It is necessary to slightly grind the end of the tube into a cone on which we will "cut" the thread. This can be done in any way, for example with a knife.
Next, we take our tube and scroll with force, forcing the thread with our printing cylinder. Next is the next most important moment without which nothing will work. We take an L-shaped hexagon (2mm) with a ball end and insert it to the depth we need. We scroll our cylinder to the end, after which we pull out the key. Manipulations with the key are needed not only to correctly push the threads on the tube, but also to maintain the internal diameter. And it will also be convenient to hold on to it when pushing the thread (we will not deform the tube once again).
Kills three birds with one stone. nine0003
The next step is to make a mating piece from a waste PC-6 fitting. To do this, you need to pull out all the offal from it with wire cutters. Only a sealing rubber insert will remain inside.
The cylinder must fit snugly under the fitting, but still rotate freely in it.
You can also print another cylinder that will relieve bending loads. It should fit as tightly as possible both into the fitting and tightly put on the tube itself (here without a thread). Dimensions will have to be selected empirically, since all fittings are slightly different. nine0003
It will also be useful to seal the thread of the fitting in any way, in this case I glued one turn of electrical tape.
The final meaning of this method is as follows. One end of the tube will rest against a thermal barrier or, if you are using a through throat, against a nozzle. And the other part will slide on the inside of the fitting.
Slightly twist the impression cylinder, you can completely select the play. Teflon over time will try to return to its original state and the impression cylinder will sit very firmly on the tube and will not rotate without effort. nine0003
It is also possible to attach the back part to the extruder itself. On this tube, it was a flying extruder, I printed 4 kg of plastic and the backlash did not appear. And I forgot, like a nightmare, all these ordeals with fittings.
If it is not clear from the photos, you can watch a short video version.
