Features

• Inner diameter: 2mm
• Outer diameter: 3mm
• Length: 1 meter

What it is for

The main uses of the PTFE tube include wire and cable protection in 3D printer, Raspberry Pi, and general prototyping applications. It is useful for beginners and intermediates who want to create a simple cable holder using the PTFE tube and a plastic base.

Tutorial: How to Use 1 Meter PTFE Tube

The 1 Meter PTFE Tube is ideal for protecting wires and cables in 3D printer and Raspberry Pi applications. Useful for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• 1 Meter PTFE Tube
• Wires and cables
• X-Acto knife
• Pliers

Steps

1. Measure the tube with a meter to ensure it is 1 meter.
2. Check the datasheet for the internal (2mm) and external (3mm) dimensions of the tube.
3. Cut the tube with a chisel based on the required length.
4. Connect the wires and cables to the tube, making sure they are completely wrapped.
5. Use pliers to hold the wires in place while wrapping them.
6. Check that the wires are well wrapped and do not obstruct the airflow in 3D printer applications.
7. Check that the tube does not adhere to the wires and cables.
8. Check that the tube is not too tight or too loose relative to the wires.

Common mistakes

• Do not use a tube that is too tight or too loose.
• Do not cut the tube with unsuitable tools.
• Don’t forget to check the internal and external dimensions of the tube.
• Don’t wrap wires too tightly or you risk obstructing airflow.

Recommended accessories

• PTFE tubes of various diameters
• Plastic cutting for support
• Pliers
• Scraper
