Has trouble with some extruders.

Ignore the comments about filament bending and jamming in the extruder. Flexible filament requires a special kind of extruder mechanism if it is to be used with a Boden Tube and not direct drive. And some direct drive even have to much space after the feed gears. The Creality CR-10 has a good extruder that works with all the flexible filaments I have tried, I still recommend the all metal upgrade, but the plastic OEM one works also. Lots of information on this topic on YouTube. It's not fair to give a product a poor review when the issue is user error and not the products failure.

Pros

This printed great on my old Monoprice dual extruder printer

Cons

Limited color options compared to other brands

New products

It’s printing fine on my CR-10 with 180 temp, 30mm/s and 140% flow. I was getting terrible underextrusion until I set the flow rate up. I have Capricorn tubing but an otherwise stock CR-10, using Cura 4.0 w/ a .4m nozzle. Couldn’t get reliable prints when I first reviewed this product but I didn’t know enough about 3D printing to mess with my settings enough to make it work. I chalked it up to bad filament, but I think it was a combination of my MP Mini’s extruder, and inaccurate slicer settings.
