I was looking to purchase longer PTFE tubes for my A1 Mini, so that I could move the AMS a little further from the printer (on the wall). When I went on the Bambu store, I found that there are two version, a clear tube for the P/X1 and a grey tube for the A1. The clear version is 12.99 (for the 4000mm) and the grey version is 17.99 (for the 4000mm).
I think that I would prefer the clear, but I wanted to see if there was a reason that I should stick with the A1/Grey?
Thoughts?
TIA
Bump. Wondering this myself. I ordered a roll of the gray A1 tubing for my dry boxes but I’m wondering if there’s a quality difference between the gray and clear versions.
I decided to go with the 12.99 clear version, as I can see the colour of the filament in the tube easier (not a huge deal).
So far it is working fine, though the tube did come with a ‘pinch’ in one please which I think I’m going to have to cut out as it does make it challenging to load filament through that spot.
when I need to replace the PTFE tubing again, I will try the grey and see.
Thanks for giving an update. My order with the gray tube arrives tomorrow. I can’t imagine it being much different, especially for a dry box where I won’t need a long piece.
The website currently shows only white and grey tubing.
So, white instead of clear.
Has this changed since Feb. 2024 or was it then called white also?
What are your experiences with both the grey and the white(clear) BBL PTFE tubing? Is filament easier to see in the grey or in the white(clear)?
