Mk3 Printing Flex - Simple Filament to work with ??  

Re: Mk3 Printing Flex - Simple Filament to work with ??

Ninjaflex from what I gather is very hard to print. quite soft.

Try out NGEN. Also, check this video out that just hit reddit.

I have printed Rigid Ink TPU which is very flexible without major issues. I used the standard PLA settings as a base and tweaked the temperatures and slowed things a little. I did suffer some stringing but I had not changed anything on the retraction.

Ninjatek also makes Cheetah which prints at normal speeds. It’s shore hardness scale is harder than ninjaflex. I printed both with no major issues, but have switched to cheetah permanently because I don’t have to slow down the printer. Results are pretty good, too. I also dry the flexibles before printing them. While they don’t absorb moisture as much as nylon, I find drying it produces much less stringing.

The red and green caps are in cheetah.

I have run quite a bit of Ninjaflex through the MK3, it does fine just slowing your speeds down with no modification- if you are not impatient.
