Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Gizmo Dorks Flex-Filament Printers by Ryan Hampton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent flexible filament, strikingly transparent red fire engine

I bought this to play with - I wanted to try a 3D hair printing machine to bake buns (I had when I was a kid). I remember many years ago I had a bun making machine that was hard plastic but flimsy enough to be bent (it ended up breaking while being bent) so I figured I wanted a flexible filament with quite a bit use high durometer to print designs and the filament is a great price for the job. I printed the part at 100% infill and am very happy with the result. The only issue I had was a little tension, but my design shrinks a lot in the top layers (so I think I would have that issue to some extent for almost any thread). I also noticed when I bought this color that there were no sample photos showing the common thread in the finished print. so i added one. I would describe the color as a flashy, translucent fire engine red.

Pros
  • Flexible filament is made from TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane, with a hardness of 96A shore
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
