I've not tried Flex1000 but the others i have tested it does vary, I would start with a very simple test piece that only takes a few minutes such as a small label a few mm thick and only about 16mm square, start at the mid range of the temperature and normal speed, then 1/2 the speed, and see if its better. then adjust the temperature and check, I print 6 at a time starting at the maximum temperature and then drop 4 degrees between each part, I then repeat at 50% speed and adjust from there, Some times i have found that i need to increase to 120% flow rate. Flexable filaments i have found need a bit of testing to find a good setting.
