    I ordered some Flexy 90A off amazon and I have a need to print a couple of small tires for a model airplane.

    Just wondering if anyone has some general guidelines they can share when using this type of filament.

    I have been told by others to print slower than normal and to turn off retractions.

    Those are good suggestions in general for flexibles. If it gets caught in the hobbed bolt even moving slow* then you may need to run the PTFE tube modification as discussed in the ninjaflex threads.


    * and by slow we mean really slow...
