Replicator Extruder for FLEXIBLE materials - Mk8

thingiverse

This text discusses the author's original design created during the development of NinjaFlex and how they have since moved on to launch their debut product, the Flexion Extruder with Diabase Engineering. They highlight that this new extruder can print flexible materials faster and softer than the initial design. The writer also mentions receiving queries about jamming issues with flexible filaments and emphasizes the importance of complete support for filament between the drive gear and cold end for printing such materials. Their initial design is an improvement on work done by others, including adding a small amount of material to prevent folding under the hobbed portion of the drive gear. They've also provided files for Rep2, but note they are working with only a Rep1. Lastly, they list the McMaster-Carr parts used in their design and mention that a hole needs tapping for an M3 screw used as a bearing shaft.
