Yes, could you please post the profile for M2/24v/v3b/NinjaFlex. There are other settings that were not discussed here. Thanks. This info helped me a lot!

Just posted it on the first post. Let me know if the link is ever broken. I will update this topic with as much information as I am provided or test myself.

What changes to the profile would be needed for the v4 hot end?

Is anyone printing Ninjaflex with the v4? I'd be interested in getting the FFF file!

Thanks!!

I do not have the V4 hotend so I cannot comment on a V4 profile, but if anyone does optimize a profile for Ninjaflex let me know and I will host it on here.

I tried printing some SainSmart flexible TPU on an M4 hotend today and it seemed that the critical thing was finding the correct Z stop height. I was printing on unheated glass and had to set Z-stop to lower than usual or the head would lift up adjacent traces on the first layer when doing long runs. Adding a little heat to the bed might fix that too, I was just worried about getting the print stuck since I've never used this material before and heard that over-adhesion to the plate can be a problem.

The only other tricky thing was trying to push the rubbery filament through the feed tube. I could only get it about 2/3 in before it would get stuck. I wound up taping the end of the TPU to the end of a piece of ABS that had already been pushed through the tube, then used the ABS to drag the TPU all the way through the tube. Between that and the special Z-stop setting, I wouldn't want to have to switch back and forth between this and some other filament very often.
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
