Was having clogging issues so I thought I’d replace and get the mythically good capricorn tubes. This is a good sign that I needed to.

    With direct drive, I would say it doesn’t make a difference.

    For bowden there is a benefit.

    I also think that direct drive is superior to Bowden setups in nearly every situation. The current generation like the Orbiter v3 is a very light direct-drive extruder.

      There is not. I can empirically prove it to you as well. Half of the ‘capricorn’ tubing you get from Amazon isn’t even genuine - yet everyone there is clamoring on about how it made a difference.

      Turns out, that confirmation bias and placebo effect share a lot of overlap. I get it, nobody wants to admit they’ve been bamboozled. But hey…stay critical of your observations.
