Description

Material Type:Thermoplastic Elastomers Ninja Flex flexible filament leads the industry thanks to its superior flexibility and longevity compared to non- polyurethane materials. Its consistency in diameter and orality (roundness) outpaces other polyurethane materials. Made from a specially formulated thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material, this patented technology boasts a low-tack, easy-to-feed texture. The result is uniquely flexible, strong prints ideal for direct-drive extruders. Suggested Applications: Seals, gaskets, plugs, leveling feet, protective applications. KEY FEATURES: Shore Hardness = 85A Truly flexible (no fill or layer manipulation required to achieve performance) 660% elongation allows for repeated movement and impact without wear or cracking Polyurethane composition allows for excellent vibration reduction Patented low friction exterior allows for smooth feeding Abrasion resistance 20% better than ABS and 68% better than PLA Consistent diameter and material properties providing reliable, high quality prints Chemical resistant to many materials, including naphtha, ASTM Oils 1-3, petroleum and Freon Adheres to all standard build platforms without glue or tape REACH and RoHS 2002/95/EC Directive compliant PRINTING GUIDELINES: Extruder Temperature: 225°C – 235°C Platform Temperature: Room temperature – 40°C Glue and/ or blue painters tape is suggested if not using a heated bed.

  • You have to know what to expect
This is NOT like regular flex TPU. It is MUCH more flexible. You HAVE to make sure your printer is set up to print VERY flexible filament. I have two bowden tube printers and get great results with a simple modification to the extruder feed path. A few mm long piece of bowden tube cut with a 'V' shape at one end is all it takes. Just have to get rid of the small gap between the extruder drive and the bowden tube going to the printer. I just let the short tube float above the drive wheel. I do have to bump up the feed rate to 1.2 and print SLOW... maybe 20mm/s. Nice smooth results on naked glass as it sticks very well to a warm bed. I am using between 50 to 65c bed temp. My only complaints are; very expensive for a 0.5kg roll. for some reason they use a spool that is BIGGER than a standard 1kg. (mostly empty and too big to fit into a 1 gallon zip lock bag. I noticed the few rolls I got never come in a vacuum bag and print perfectly so I assume moisture is not a factor with this. Once you get it dialed in though... prints nice. Understand this is NOT like regular TPU. It is a specialized filament for very specific uses. ... show more

  • I love NinjaFlex, but this Gray has BIG issues compared to Midnight Black
UPDATE: I just printed a known good part design previously printed in black and even this gray, and after almost 4 hours all four copies are in the trash bin. They looked fine, but are nearly hollow--1.7.5g when they should have been 26g! I took a sample for measuring, and the diameter varied from 1.6 to 1.62mm in my sample, that's an error of -.15mm (8.5%), completely unacceptable! I measured a sample of midnight black and it varied between 1.7 and 1.73mm, so -.05mm error, at the high end of acceptable. I will try compensating in the slicer but if that doesn't work this is going back. WTH NinjaTek?! I love the black version of this product, but am very frustrated using the Steel Gray version. It *can* look really great like the black--the glossy sheen--coupled of course with the wonderful 85A shore hardness that nobody else has. But I can take the same GCODE and switch back and forth between black and gray--both dried--and the gray will have issues and I'm throwing away parts. I just finished my second spool ordered at different times, it's the product, not me. I am making parts to sell, and sometimes they need to be gray. So, this really sucks. I can change the settings to get the gray to print: slow down in general, especially perimeters; increase temperature; increase flow. This changes the result (heavier), but *sort of* works. The yield is poor, about 67% (holes and blobs on outside perimeters), but that's better than the 0% (terrible layer bonding, the shell peels apart from the core) I get if I don't change the settings compared to black. As always, adding insult to overpriced injury, this arrogant irresponsible company refuses to ship the spools in a plastic bag, so it arrives water saturated and you can't use it until you dry it overnight. Competitors--why aren't you listening to the chorus of these complaints--please someone else compete with this company and produce a 85A hardness TPU/TPE! ... show more

  • Prints flawlessly first try!
The media could not be loaded. I printed this on my prusa i3 mk3s. This was my first filament that wasn’t pla or petg, i found a printing profile online and was able to use it to get pretty good, and flexible results. There are minor imperfections, but those can be fixed with some tweaking. This was the first print with this filament and im pretty happy! ... show more

  • Where's the bag?
I haven't run any prints with this yet, but I now see why they say this stuff is difficult. It is truly like limp over cooked spaghetti!!!!! I had to write this review before printing so I could ding them on the packaging. The box was fine. The desiccant pack is tiny......and the only bag was the plastic that wrapped the box, so its basically "void after opening". Every other filament I've used bags the spool inside the box, not just the box. I replace the bags anyway but still, kind of "cheap" packaging for thw most expensive filament I've bought. ... show more

  • Used on Ender 3 with a direct drive mod
If you have a bowden tube based printer and were able to print other TPUs, be warned that this filament is much softer and more flexible and may jam in your bowden tube. I had to upgrade my Ender 3 with a direct drive mod kit to be able to use this filament, and now it works great.

  • very neat
awesome to be able to print a flexible tpu like this. prints almost as well as PLA even at 120mm/s on my ender 5 with bmg clone in direct drive and all metal hot end. some stringing and poor layer bonding, which i think can be resolved with better nozzle and print settings on my part. good luck thinking of what else to print with this material besides phone cases and gaskets... ... show more

  • Tough to print but flexible.
Printed on a Qidi X-Plus with direct drive on heated bed. Used professionally to create custom strain relief for sensor cables. Some success printing 230C, 15mm fixed speed, 120% extrusion, no retraction. Pros: Flexible, strong prints. Softer than TPU (85A vs 98A shore hardness). Cons: Prone to jamming at start of prints, even on direct drive. Not vacuum packed. Spool looked loose and tangle prone. Pricey. ... show more

  • Inconsistent diameter
If the filament is supposed to be 1.75mm it's mislabeled. I am getting between 1.60mm and 1.74mm. Averaging about 1.64 and very elliptical. I'm not sure what to set my filament diameter settings to when the range of diameters is so wide.
