MK3 and Flex 98 - First time user advice ?
I just got my first ever Flex 98 roll from Prusa today, ever wanted to give it a try.
Now got this roll, my Prusa MK3 and latest PrusaSlicer... and feel a bit scared of trying it, usually print PLA, sometimes PETG, and hardly ABS.
Is it as simple as putting in the filament,, choosing Flex in Prusalicer and go ? Or is there something to be careful about ? I'm suddenly a bit afraid that it gets clogged, or the filament stuck in the gears or so :-/ . And should I use the standard or powder coated (also newly received) steel sheet ? Or should I first upgrade to MK3S ?
Well lots of questions, any advice would be welcome from experienced Flex 98 users 🙂

Make sure you're using some kind of separator on your bed (like Windex) and raise the nozzle a little bit. Flex is very sticky to PEI. But the good thing, you can use IPA to release from the bed as last resort.
Beside of that. Just try it and monitor your prints.

Thanksfor the advice I'll have a try, so Windex is glas cleaner ? Don't know this brand but I'll have a look; btw I read that powder coated pei is better for those more 'sticky' materials, shouls I go with this one ?
Hope I can get some IPA, running low and harder to get these days
Cheers

Yes, any glass cleaner should do it.
