Review on 🐢 NinjaTek 3DAR01117505 Armadillo Filament Midnight: Exceptionally Durable 3D Printing Material+' by David Ruwala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing material but needs to be dry

This is an amazing yarn that is slightly more flexible than Nylon and stiffer than 95A (Shore) TPU. However, it needs to be dry to print properly and NinjaTec Support is unaware of this requirement. I struggled to get this to print and customer service told me it doesn't absorb water or need to be dehydrated - wrong! After 20 hours in my dehydrator at 60°C it prints great and has a nice glossy finish. After 3 or 4 days in the air (here in Florida) it prints with a porous surface and eventually my Raise3D E2 ($3500 printer) won't extrude it. I store the coil in a vacuum container when not in use. Shame on them for not knowing their own product.
