    Got the order from @Printed Solid today (thanks!) but now I am torn. I was going to use some down-time to do some other upgrades ... but I want to play with this.

    Grrrr...decisions.

    That is why I rarely do upgrades or maintenance!

    Well, I decided to do the upgrade first after all -- semi-flex tomorrow. I'll post some demo prints.

    Printing the standard Deprime test object out of the red semiflex now. Still needs my plastic tube to print right (not surprising) and while I will post a photo when done and comment more, it is going down like butter. Really really nice at 210 (I know they said 210-250, but at 210 it is amazing layers). Speed is 1200 mm/min. Slow, but not a slow as the NinjaFlex.

    Here it is. A little bit of stringing, but not hideous.
    This is largely uncleaned.
    Could certainly get better with tweaking/tuning.

    You can see my son twisting it in a loop -- it is certainly flexible :)

    Thanks @Printed Solid for stocking this. It has a lot of possibilities.

    Printing the black semiflex is a visual challenge :)

    It prints awesome (but it is hard to watch):
