Printing with Ninjaflex?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone with a 1.75mm Prusa I3 has printed with Ninjaflex TPU yet?

I know its listed as a supported material. I'm just wondering if any mods or changes need to be done to the printer hardware to get Ninjaflex to print nicely as I'm about to buy some Ninjaflex to print Multirotor camera mounts and things like that.

The Prusa i3 Original 1.75mm should handle flex material as good as any other printer. The important thing with flex is that the filament drive gear must be in close proximity to the extruder barrel so that there is no room for the filament to bend between the two parts.

I have not as yet found a need to print with flex. Maybe one day...

I tried Flex material from Prusa research store. It works fine with bundled flex Slic3r settings. Print is very slow though, you shouldnt go above 15mm/s.
