Amazing material, very flexible and can produce detailed parts. I had to modify my ENDER 3 with a direct drive kit, because this filament is way too flexible and would not print more than one or two layers without blocking in the extruder. With direct drive and not using retraction I now have a very high success rate. Bed adhesion is tricky, but nothing that can't be fixed by playing around. Made some amazing miniature car tires with this material. Will buy again!

This is a very difficult print to accomplish with flexible filament. Stringing was minimal once coast and wipe/retraction settings were dialed in. On a flashforge creator pro with the filament path tightened up. 33mm/sec. This stuff printed like a champ and has excellent qualities. A bit of a different feel to ninjaflex, somewhere between ninjatek and chinchilla but wears well. Great for a grippy surface like tires phone cases, etc. Awesome product when you find the right use for it.

Never give up! Wrong printer for the job, but yes you can print this stuff with a bowden tube on painters tape. Just have to fill up all the open space on the extruder so the filament goes down the tube instead of everywhere else. Tried a bunch of stuff for adhesion but eventually decided that it shrinks so much while printing that anything large will just warp off the bed. I suspect a hotter build plate and heated enclosure might help. But, I'm not going there. So, I printed on a raft, 0 ...

extremely flexible and easy to work with with a little glue stick on the sheet.

It is a difficult material to print at first. However, after some practice, you can get it to work properly and the results... are simply unbelievable.

This stuff fantastic if you can get it to stick to the bed. It's polypropylene based so the same bed adhesion tools are necessary (i.e. printing it on packing tape).

Okay! I am an experienced printer with hundreds of hours under my belt printing various TPU filaments. I have a printer that has direct drive and is dedicated to flexible filaments. I bought this looking for something a little more flexible for making model tires and tracks with and thought this may be the ticket. It prints nice but I could not get it to stick to my print surface past about 30 layers. I tried heat anywhere from 60 to 80 degrees C and temps from 225 to 245 and the same r...

We purchased this because of the matte finish, but it is extremely difficult to get good bed adhesion. Tried all different types of beds (pei, glass, painter's tape, glue stick, heated, etc) with no success. This could be because of the inherent part design that we tried to print, but we had much better success with other brands.
