Ok. This print is better. Be temp 60, extruder 195.
I'm thinking to drop the extrusion temp to 180.
Do you think that would clear up the rest or am I missing something?

Just noticed that MakerGeeks has a new NinjaFlex equivalent filament at $39.95/Kg. MG calls theirs "Maker Flex" and so far are listing it in 6 colors. Darn little info about it other than to say "Maker FlexFlexible filament is based on the exact same resin properties" as Ninjaflex.

Interesting.
Have you made the changes to your printer to be able to print the flexible filament?
I am still deciding on it for mine.

All you really need is a low-profile feed gear(some Qidi come with them), and some feed carriage parts meant for flexible filaments, and you can print those.

I have the carriage parts DL'd I have not printed them yet. My QIDI is only a couple months old and supposedly came with the newest parts. Still cannot verify it though. LOL

Yes, I am using this feed carriage in one of my extruders. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:857200 Although I have not yet tried Ninjaflex filament in it.

In looking at my setup it looks very much like that already. I will have to check deeper and take pics for you guys.

Have you seen any difference over the stock one when using regular PLA or ABS?
