Modification to Prusa i3 Extruder for Printing MEXI-FLEX (Flexible Filament) To print high-quality prints using flexible filaments like Mexi Flex, Wade's extruder requires modifications. These updates will enable you to achieve excellent results. Optimal Print Settings for MEXI-FLEX: Minimum Layer Height: 0.2-0.3mm For 3mm filament diameter, use a 2.8mm setting. For 1.75mm filament diameter, adjust to 1.6mm. A minimum of 0.5% infill solidity is required for optimal layer bonding and flexibility. Set the Infill Width Thickness Ratio at 1.4. Print Speed: For a smooth finish, maintain 60 mm/s speed or exceed it up to 100mm/s. Extruder Temperature: Set between 210-230°C for proper extrusion. Adjust Hot Bed temperature between 50-80°C, with an added bonus of improving print adhesion using spray hair and 3M tape.
