This is a step-by-step guide on how to precision-cut PTFE Teflon Bowden Tube for the MonoPrice Dual Extruder 3D Printer. The goal is to cut 2.0mm ID x 4.0mm OD tubing down to size for use with 1.75mm filament, ensuring it reaches the correct length for optimal performance in the MonoPrice Dual Extruder setup. I managed to acquire 2 meters of this high-quality tube on Amazon for a mere $6.00, making it an incredibly cost-effective solution. Notably, this method should also be compatible with the Flashforge printer setup. To begin, simply trim the starting end of the tubing square and then insert the entire length into the cutting guide. With a razor-sharp blade, carefully cut off the excess tubing to achieve the precise length required for your MonoPrice Dual Extruder setup. Once you've completed the cutting process, you can easily remove the tube by locating the slot at the end of the guide and gently pushing it out. In my experimentation, I found that printing the guide laying flat without support was a viable option, which significantly simplifies the overall process. By adopting this approach, you can reduce costs to an astonishing 10 cents per tube, making high-quality PTFE Teflon Bowden Tube an affordable and accessible solution for your MonoPrice Dual Extruder setup.
