The Bowden Path
The Bowden Tube
The path for guiding the filament from the extruder to the hotend is a standard PTFE/Teflon tube at 2mm ID 4mm OD for 1.75 mm filament
I recommend approximately 80 cm of ptfe for this path
The Rod
To hold up the bowden tube and cablingĀ while containing a smooth arc from the frame to the X-Carrier I use a 4 mm fiberglass rod which I cut from a cleaning tool I got in a DIY store
I recommend approximately 80 cm rod for this path
Example of cleaning tool with fiberglass rod
The Loom
To hide and keep the cabling in place I use this cable organizer and it works as a cable chain in conjunction with the fiberglass rod
I recommend approximately 71 cm of loom for this path
