I talked to Mitch and I think I followed all of his recommended settings for NinjaFlex, but I still have a two issues.
-
I’m having trouble getting the outside layers to bond to one another (you can actually separate all of them with your finger, almost like when you shuffle a deck of cards.)
-
I’m having trouble with the part pulling up from the bed during the printing. (The picture isn’t 100% clear, what has actually happened is that the end is actually thinner because the part slowly lifts up during the print process.)
Any suggestions to address these issues would be very much appreciated…Phil
