PC4 M5 Bowden Connector – For M5 Extruders

A Bowden connector is a crucial little component that is often overlooked, but without it your printer can cause a mess. This little screw-on part connects the PTFE tubing to the extruder assembly system, and utilises a John Guest fitting to maintain a firm grip even while the filament is being pushed through the tubing. This connector fits 2mm ID PTFE tubing, which is typically used for 1.75mm filament, and universally fits extruder assemblies with M5 thread. This connector plays a pivotal role in guiding the filament from the extruder to the hot end, maintaining precise control over the filament feed. The Bowden connector and its accompanying PTFE tubing are essential elements for enhancing the efficiency and performance of FDM 3D printers. This and the compatibility to standard M5 extruders is what makes this PC4 M5 Bowden Connector so popular for a wide range of different 3D printers.

Typical Applications for The PC4 M5 Bowden Connector:

The PC4 M5 Bowden Connector is used in 3D printers that utilise Bowden-style extruder assemblies and 1.75mm filament, to fit the PTFE tubing firmly to the extruder. This ensures a safe and protected path for your filament to travel from the spool to the hotend assembly, keeping it cool, out of the way and ready to print with. Many printers use an M5 extruder assembly, making this little connector compatible with various 3D printers.
