Hi all,

Where can I buy the plastic tube for the filament?
I want the same type that was included in my Mendel90 kit from Nopehead.
I have bought a few from Ebay, but they have not been as good.

Cheers
Tobbe

I can not find the right tube on Ooznest.co.uk.
The one they have is thicker and the inner diameter seems strange as it is specified as 3-4 mm. 3-4 mm?! Not precision manufacturing.

I think you have misread... ID relates to the inside hole diameter and OD is the outsiide diameter (how big overall):

3.0mm - 4mm ID 6mm OD
for 3mm filament - inner diameter of 4mm and an outer diameter of 6mm

1.75mm - 2mm ID 4mm OD
for 1.75mm filament - inner diameter of 2mm and an outer diameter of 4mm

hope this helps!
