That feed thru looks familiar (smile). First reaction is 'That would be neat.' Concerns are: Wouldn't that put a great deal of flexure stress on the filament? It doesn't seem like there would be enough room in the remaining space for the filament to move over the entire range of extruder head motion.

You have about 6 inches straight down from the top the plexiglass the top of the extruder.

To me, that does not seem like enough to accommodate the amount of movement required.

Crap I just realized my tablet was Autocorrecting to Soultech.

Where do you get it? I find people talking about it but no listing anywhere.

That's what I thought. The blue gets ok reviews but the black gets not great ones. I may try a roll next time I need one and see how it does.

Going to try the first full on Ninja-Flex print tonight with the Flexion extrudes. YES - DaveB - all this time and I am finally going to print a flexible filament with the Flexion extruders!!!

Any STL suggestions for a first print? Something straight forward but cool?!!!

At long last! Congratulations. How about one of these, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:184890 but make the cam (or the contact part of it) from Ninja-flex?

I'd print a Rubber Duck (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:139894).

With Ninja? What were your basic settings? Bed temp, extruder etc? Open chamber like for PLA?

I have a question for all the QIDI Guru's out there, (Yous guys)

I have found that I need to replace my extruder motors, and they are as follows:

42HB34F08AB rated at .8 amps.

I have found motors that meet most all needs except they are either 0.4, 1.2, or 1.5 amp rated....

Will this matter, or damage anything if I go up higher than .8 amps? Can the power supply handle it? Should I go with the lower 0.4?

Also, most of the ones found are a little longer at 40mm, versus the 34mm of the stock, will this effect anything??

Thanks in advance!!!

Also if anyone has a link to a replacement extruder motor that is pug and play let me know!!!
