Does anybody in Atlanta use Ninja Flex for flexible prints?

I picked up a sample from the 3d tech guys off of 14th Street in downtown. I tried it but the drive wheel on the Makerbot 2x can’t grip it.
Check thingiverse for a modified extruder that will let you print with flexible filiment. I have a replicator 2 and had to do the same thing.
Yeah I was printing it this weekend. Did you have to modify it at all?
I have a spool of it. Its pretty cool stuff!
Do you print it on your da vinci?
It is very cool stuff. I was printing with it using my makerbot 2x replicator. I was looking for a hub in the area that is familiar with it to do some prototyping
No I have not gotten it to work with the daVinci yet, Theres really nice printers at my college though that can print with it.
I have some of GP3D’s Flex filament, works with my modded Da Vinci 2.0
Nice! What did you print so far? Is it hard to print with? Cheers
No. It was pretty straight forward and worked out of the box.
I do! My Ultimaker 2 claims to print with its bowden but I wouldn’t recommend. I have a flexy struder for a modded TAZ and have lots of success! Recent project was for a DIY roof rack air deflector. Laser cut flector, bent aluminum for mounts, and red ninja flex for clamping fasteners!

I use a flexible version from Microcenter, but haven’t used Ninjaflex yet on my Robo3D R1. I’ve made some changes so it feeds better, but it can still jam sometimes if I go full speed (60 cm/s).
I made a cell phone camera mount (the flex grips the phone), and it turned out neat.

I have samples of the material and prints that I have completed. Let me know if you need help check out my hub, it has ninjaflex listed as a option to print.
I am using NinjaFlex. Its tough to work with but worth in the end!
