Review on 🤖 NinjaTek NinjaFlex: High-Quality TPU Filament for Additive Manufacturing by Ryan Gilliam

I tried this as my first foray into flexible filament and with a few tweaks it printed well. Print speed 20 mm/s, temperature 240, no heated bed but a liner is used (I'll experiment with changing it later). I played around with the retraction settings (retraction from 40mm/s to 8mm) but otherwise used the default Cura 4.7 "Generic TPU” settings. For the most part, these are the settings specified by the manufacturer on their website, although they say nothing about break-in. It's slightly larger than PLA but smaller than PETG but peels off very easily with a small pair of scissors. On the thing with the "without bag". My box was sealed with a desiccant inside. So it's true that I have to use a gallon-sized zipper for storage, but that's not a big deal. A few tips for newcomers. Don't read the "Shore Review" too much. This only gives you harshness if you're printing in a solid block. Like pretty much everything you print, you'll be printing multiple layers on the outside with some padding. The number of layers determines how "wobbly" it feels. My pressure raft looks like one of those really thin rubber can openers. The only actual printed update on my Ender 3 is the replacement of the cooling shroud. (small ring version with 6 ports) The only non-printed upgrade is the PEI bed. Aside from the fact that the bottom of my raft has become smooth, glassy, I doubt that has changed anything.
