I would probably split the tip off so it prints on a flat area then just print the tip separate and glue them together. You could probably do this right in S3D but dropping the part below the print surface. (z offset) Just import two of the same part and flip one over. You just have to make sure the...

Ninjaflex needs to be dried, is that correct? I did not do that prior to first use.. How bad does is suck up moisture.. PLA like or Nylon like?? I don't think so... its flexible so it's not going to get brittle. I have an off brand of flex (Zen Toolworks) that I've had for 4 years and it still prin...

It all depends on how good the filament is as well as how it was stored. Like you I store my filament in Plastic tubs (my lids have seals) with silica gel packets and I have Makergear filament that came with my printer and is 4+ years old that is still fine. Then I have other cheap stuff that is les...

Yeah it pretty much ran out of usable surface. I did end up buying a whole new motor already but also bought another pinion too just to use this one as a back up in a pinch if one of my other printers suffers the same fate.

Yeah apparently they are working with at least 6 manufactures directly (MG included) so this should be exciting... I pulled the trigger on a Pro today.
