Bowden tube

Hi everyone. Does it make sense to replace the stock Core One tube? I'd like to install the classic 1.75 blue Bowden tube...

 

But I can't find anyone who's done it, so I'm wondering if it would be helpful. I've always used it on MK3.5 and MK4S and it worked well. Thanks!

RE: Bowden tube

You can replace it; it will then be blue.😉 What other benefits would you expect?

Personally I have not found any deficiencies with the stock tube so far. For some filament types, people report that pushing them through the final sharp bend of the tube is problematic, but I think that it more a function of the small bend radius than of the tube material. Actually, if the blue tube is stiffer than the stock material, it might be difficult to install there.
