[Ninjaflex and other flexible filaments in ultimaker products]

Hello,

 

I would like to ask which settings did you use for printing. I would appreciate any kind of tips and settings recommendations for printing with Ultimaker TPU and Ninjaflex. Also, as far as I know, Ninjaflex has only 1.75 mm diamater and 3 mm diameter versions. Our 3D printer (Ultimaker 3) as well as other Ultimaker 3D printers that I have seen is only compatible with filaments with 2.85 mm diameter. I kinda new to 3D printing so I would also like to ask how did you print with Ninjaflex?

 

Thank you in advance for your reply!

I had no issues with printing with Ninja's Flexible products. Here is  a test I did last year when I first got my UM3E and was putting every imaginable material through it. The S5 should give similar results. I have not had the chance to test that yet with the Ninja Products yet though, so do not quote me on that specific case.

 

This was done when anything that took too long was not feasible. Now, I print things that take many days, but not then....I wanted it in my hands as fast as possible.

 

This is a small spider I got from Thingiverse to use as a test subject.

 

I shot it with Krylon gold paint to test it and to be able to photograph it. It was printed with a PVA base and what looks like little strings are actually supposed to be the teeny prongs jutting off the legs. But, still not too shabby for a 0.2 mm layer height. First pic is with a US Quarter for size comparison.

 

[Printing with Ultimaker TPU and PVA]

Hello,

 

I am trying to print with Ultimaker TPU and Ultimaker PVA. I have printed some trial designs with just TPU. However, I had some bonding issues when I used Ultimaker's recommended settings. I am very beginner to 3D printing. I am using Ultimaker 3 and my ultimate goal is to print soft robots. Is there any tip you can give me to improve my prints? I would appreciate any custom settings recommendations.

 

Thank you in advance!
