    Up to now it has never been an issue on anything. I can imagine for low powered PCs/Laptops it could be due to hanging or crashing (given its "streaming" nature)

    ABS doesn't sound a bad choice at all. It's not toxic and shouldn't leach anything into the water - saltwater habitats are a fine balancing act (I ended up stopping at tropical fish personally as it...

    Sounds like Buildtak - they are usually black though. It is exactly like an old cheap mouse pad with the plastic textured top.

    Hi fotomatcion - no I didn't try to print it as it shows nothing for me in the preview window after slicing it and contains nothing in the resulting output Gcode - it wouldn't even print in that case.

    Thanks for the links and info - I do like Ninjaflex but could only really justify one colour at the prices, but that Filaflex is more on par with decent ABS/PLA prices so will give it a go.
