Try us at filabits.com. We have samples of NinjaFlex in 1.75mm and 3.00mm diameters. You may also have better luck printing with SemiFlex...it's a little more rigid, which will aid feeding, but it still offers a high degree of flexibility. We carry this as well.

Another option to try would be SainSmart's flexible TPU. They're a cheaper alternative.

If we don't have the filament you want, be sure to voice it on our NEW FILAMENT VOTING PLATFORM.

We've printed in it fine on the Hyrel. Also PlastInk Rubber.

Larry, great photos which brings me to a question. How do you get your photos to show up large? No matter how hard I try to upload a good sized photo, say 1500x1200, it's always reduced to something much smaller. What's your technique or trick?

It doesn't look like it fused very well. Is that a temperature issue? Or is that how the stuff behaves?

[NinjaFlex Engineer]

Roxy ... we tend to get much less "defined" layers than what is pictured. It does depend on the temperature settings. You need enough heat to get the previous layer to remelt and fuse to the layer being printed.

Here is a good video from adafruit industries of printing with NinjaFlex. Looks like some good stuff.

Gotta say that video makes me want to go by some right away. Looks very good. It's exciting to see companies like Ninjaflex think outside the box to create cool new printable materials.
