Filaflex

Post by Ros »

Hi,

Anyone has experience using Filaflex with the CubeX.
I heard in some place, I can't remember now, that this combination of printer and material doesn't work well.
Is that true?

Thanks
Hugues

Hi !

Soft filament as filaflex or ninja flex don't work in the cubex due to the fix extruder.

Hi,

The extruder pulley is fix without spring to tight the filament.
Giovanni tested it without success.

Filaflex is too soft for the Cubex, but I've found a flex filament with a hardness of 65 Shore D and it prints beautifully on the Cubex.
It's harder than Filaflex and Ninjaflex but still flexible.
The parts are strong, no problems of stringing but problems of bed adhesion, I didn't test too much but at the moment the best results are with bed temperature 35° and print on blue tape without glue or air spray, the blue tape must be changed after each print.

Hi,
this is the filament I've used :

I think this could be the same or very similar :

I would like to try the Ninjafelx Semifelx, is a little softer ( Shore D 50 ) than the one I've used, but it could be hard enough to pass into the Cubex's extruder.
