Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ High-Quality Brend NinjaFlex TPU Filament Model 3DNF05117505 - Ultimate 3D Printing Filament by Jon Ford

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wet thread causes a lot of tension; Ninjatek must use vacuum bag

Can't believe they don't include a vacuum bag. Even the cheap $15 PLA rolls (which are far less prone to absorbing moisture) come sealed inside with a silica gel pouch. The filament I received undoubtedly soaked up moisture in humid warehouses and delivery vehicles and had terrible tension on my Prusa MK3S - even with the highly optimized NinjaFlex profile (Prusa printers have a profile called "NinjaFlex Profile - Zero Stringing - Flawless.Printing - Benchy enabled). I reported my concerns to the profiler and found that the problem was with the wet NinjaFlex. He also tested this stress level and attributed it to moisture; after drying the filament in a dehydrator, that disappeared Excitement. I don't have a $100 dehydrator so I'm stuck with this horribly wet floss. At the premium price point, it's unacceptable that the Ninjatek thread arrives unsealed. I'm sure the results will be different would be if the thread was dry It's not dramatic to give 1 star for the lack of a pocket if this is too na ss filaments and terribly filiform prints. Check out the photo for yourself. I personally will stick with other TPU brands that are vacuum packed from now on.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
