Wanted to thank 3D Fab and @themitch22.
I did my first NinjaFlex prints yesterday and it went so smoothly! Mitch walked me through the quarks of working with ninjaflex and we had all the supplies ready to go in the room. Did 2 successful prints and had nearly no spoilage. Which I was concerned about because NinjaFlex is touchy and more expensive. You guys rock!
NinjaFlex Question:
So my prints came out 100% usable for my projects, but in the future I think I want to bum up the amount extrude, because some of the outside edge runs didn’t extrude enough to stick. What setting in kiss slicer would I need to adjust for this? and about how much should I adjust it by to be on the safe side? It is close, just not quite perfect currently.
NinjaFlex Thoughts: For the members wanting to try it.

Printing NinjaFlex is SLOW, this is because the material is stretchier and stronger than ABS when hot. So it can peel layer from each other while printing quickly. So you have to slow it way down for best looking results. For me this meant a 30 minute print normally took about 3ish hours.

I’m no longer scared about the cost. My 2 prints cost me about $12. Yeah a bit pricey for the size, but I had nearly no spoilage, so if you get the print running, you are likely to get a good part and your money doesn’t go to spoilage.

It prints glossy and more vibrant in color than it looks on the spool. I printed red and the color on the spool looked a bit like dried ketchup, but when it printed it looked Glossy Race Car RED!
Thanks DMS another awesome project that wouldn’t of happened without this group!
