I finally get my extruder to work with flexible filament. I show how I modified the extruder to work with Ninjaflex (and filaflex, coming soon ;D), and show some of the ninjaflex test prints!

I don't know how it is possible that I return almost one year later to the best explanation about flexible filament on youtube and still see only 95 likes and just about 11 thousand views. Your video should be a reference but it is almost unknown.

thank you so much for this video, not sure why manufacturers don't even mention this problem

Maybe ninjaflex can be used to print out rubber belts for old AV gear, like tape recorders/record players :)

Hello, Nice vid, I to have tried NF and found similar folding problem in print head at times.Sometime works fine others real pain, so need to mode my PH when have a moment.Also I used a similar print speed of 25mm/s at 210c, but did find that getting it to stick to print bed at room temp didn't work to well but was ok 40c.

great video bro.. this is also good tip for pla and abs yea ? i really likes the tupe tip...

With this mod on my printer I've gone up to 80mms. I did a large print and completely forgot to lower the speed. It came out fine.

This would be ideal for printing custom orthopedic insoles and also CPAP masks...

I may have missed you say it, but can that Mod also print PLA/ABS?

[MiggyManMike]

I did the same thing to covert my wade's from 3mm to 1.75 :D

[Moby]

Would it be okay to keep that extruder with the PTFE tubing on 24/7 even for PLA filament?

Nice video, shame that in the end the clear ninjaflex + the camera autofocus blurred the cuddling owls  :(

[emoryducote]

That's odd...my Makerfarm setup printed ninjaflex just fine without any mods.

i saw a guy make a small piece to fill the space so it could no longer coil. guess what it printed it well. he used sugru.

Can Reprab MK8 extruder to print flexible filament?

All the mods you need to do make me think you should just pour it into a mold.

[papabur]

your pronouncing "Prusa": wrong..
