I really can't see the trouble of copy/paste a simple basic guide of info instead of 'nothing'. When you go to a shop to buy anything, you get at least minimal info. I understand the point of view of the initial post about the flexible pla. And any named vendor that sells flexible gives a minimal guide.

Complain all you like about ninjaflex but colorfabb give plenty of info. You have to not have heard of google to mess up printing with colorfabb....they state best temps ranges and print speed recommendations. It doesn't appear that any temps are on the side of the ninja felx roll? that is silly.

Ignore the pellets photo, i just couldn't find a photo of a roll, and was just saying the rolls all have temps on them as standard. even most of the pellets packs have temps on, not sure abouty the woodfill and exotic stuff....but then i would do research before complaining. Or ask people. Or just experiment. Or email the manufacturer for advice, or something. If someone else can do it then you can to......some people like to hold secrets to themselves like audio mastering, and never tell people how stuff is done, so they can be the best at it.

Read a lot and start figuring stuff out for yourself, that is the only advice i would give for anyone starting off 3D printing.

Then try to print something really ridiculous ignoring all the limitations of the printer just so you will also see what it cant do.

Then figur out how you can break it up or alter the model to make it print better. You will eventually get the hang of it and understand what you need to focus on.

    ColorFabb does a wonderful job of giving "Tips and Tricks", which i wish more filament vendors did.

    For example, go to this link from ColorFabb's site and scroll down to the "Tips and Tricks" tab. There's a lot of great information and there is more in the Quality Tab, so the customer can see if they have tested the filament with their model printer.

    We all started new at some point. I still consider myself a newbie/noob and ask a lot of questions. Helping those users out helps our little industry gain new customers. Who can learn and help others other some day!

    Im all for helping, but if people don't even look, and then complain when the information IS there already, thats what is silly.

    RE: Colorfabb I'm sure if you emailed them with questions, they would be very helpful, as they are already providing tons of info on their filaments. Cant say the same for Ninja flex.

    Just checked out theNinja Flex website and it states no temps and no print speeds whatsoever. They need a slap......

    also they seem to be offering some kind of semi flex now, so i guess it should be easier to print with, but again with no info they need a slap.

    Made in America too! no info, shocking....guess some Americans need to write some letters of complaint telling them to sort their act out.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
