Recommendations for flex and nylon filament?
Hi all,
I have been printing PLA and PETG so far and would like to try to print flexible filament and nylon.
Can you recommend any flex filament that works OK with the MK3? Prusa sells only a 98 shore variant, which is rather stiff (but probably easier to print).
Nylon: I'm interested to print mechanical parts (like replacement gears for my mini lathe) in nylon. Do you think it is worth the hassle over PETG? Any variant you could recommend?
Thanks! Martin

I personally haven't tried many brands but I have great results with Sainsmart TPU. Here are a couple phone cases I made. I'd definitely recommend supports and using simplify3d. I wasn't having good results when I used Slic3r

I also am embarking on the flex odyssey in my case with NinjaFlex as I was given sample pack of several colors... nothing what I would call a success yet though and since I have some xmas ornaments to print I am back using the PolyAlchemy elixir emerald PLA so this is a thread I will watch

I've been looking to try some ninjaflex. Post up results when you can! Just not sure what I would make with it...95a TPU is super durable and prints relatively fast.

I got this to have a spread of the type to test with $45 for 5 50gram samples
