    Interesting though :-)
    It is a delicate balance. It wants to wrap around the filament feed motor much like the ninjaflex type filaments. I am going to modify the drive slightly so I can insert some ptfe tubing to help guide it down to the heat block.



    I used Simplify 3D for the first time printing this smaller NASA wrench last Friday. All the settings, besides temperature were default. I came in Saturday to try some larger scale items. It didn't go as well. I had issues that mostly were ironed out by slowing down the feed rate while extruding. Then, halfway through a decent looking print, the filament jammed. So, I just called it a day, and decided to continue it on Monday.
