Hey Guys,

I have a part that I am trying to print out of a filament called Ninjaflex. I am not sure which color I want and they don't offer samples. Since the part is very small, I'd rather not by an entire roll of each color ($65 ea + Shipping X 8 colours). I am wondering if I can just buy a few inches of each color on a secondary market.

My question is if I have just an 18-24" loose string of filament will it feed properly through the printer or does it have to be on the spool? Any other foreseeable problems?

I don't own the equipment, I hired a guy to do the printing and I believe he has a Makerbot printer and it prints 3mm filaments.

On a second note, if anyone has some Ninjaflex in different colours and would like to sell some, please let me know!

Thanks,
Shawn
