Does anybody in Atlanta use Ninja Flex for flexible prints?

I do

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?

bryankeller · 2015-10-17T16:39:57.000Z

I have a spool of it. Its pretty cool stuff!

3dpGeek · 2015-10-17T16:47:41.000Z

Do you print it on your da vinci?

Dpitt014 · 2015-10-17T16:49:40.000Z

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

Joe_Harper · 2015-10-18T16:17:33.000Z

No. It was pretty straight forward and worked out of the box.

Jason_Fritton · 2015-10-19T01:14:10.000Z

I do in KS and can ship.

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.

Mark_Ingle · 2017-05-18T02:53:38.000Z

I am using NinjaFlex. Its tough to work with but worth in the end!
