PTFE tube cutter for clean Bowden tube preparation

The Capricorn PTFE Tube Cutter is a durable accessory for 3D printer maintenance that helps you cut Bowden tubing cleanly before fitting it into the printer. The sharp blade is designed to produce a properly square cut, which is important when preparing PTFE tube ends.

Key features of the Capricorn tubing cutter

• Square cutting performance: Designed to produce a perfectly square cut when applied to Bowden tubing.
• Sharp stainless steel blade: The cutting blade is made from stainless steel for clean tube and filament cutting.
• Long-life metal spring: A durable spring supports repeated use.
• Protective plastic housing: The blade and spring are inserted into a hard plastic housing that helps protect your hands during use.
• Durable PVC construction: The cutter housing is built for hard use.
• Hang hole for storage: A hole at the end of the cutter allows it to be hung up after use.
• Up to 6 mm tubing capacity: The cutter can fit tubing up to 6 mm in diameter.

Built to last for regular workshop use

The Capricorn cutter combines a stainless steel blade and metal spring with a hard plastic body to balance durability and safe handling. The enclosed design helps protect your hands while the robust housing stands up well to repeated use around a 3D printer workspace.

Use cases for Bowden tubing and filament cutting

This tube cutter is suited to trimming PTFE Bowden tube to length before installation, replacing worn tubing, or preparing a fresh tube end for reassembly. It is also useful for cutting filament when needed, but the blade should not be used on wire because wire will dull the cutting edge.
