Rated with 1 out of 5 stars.
I installed this tube into my printer, and it only caused problems. The hole inside is misaligned against the outer shell. It makes the filament hard to move on the joints with an extruder or hot end. I used before cheap Chinese PTFE, and they perform outstandingly in comparison to this. Waste of money.
Here is a link to a picture I took which clearly shows the issue: https://photos.app.goo.gl/34GvhLqp3gqwTgFg9Was this rating helpful? (17) (3)

It has more reliability due to its low friction but primarily it is intended for flexible filament as they are at greater risk of kinking whereas PLA is for the most part quite smooth and at less of a risk.
