Even though I didn't obtain a successful print yet using NinjaFlex, I did learn some pretty valuable things about the new printer. Biggest lesson - Don't walk away when printing with a new filament! I spent a little while peeling off all of the mess from the extruder head. I will try again next week after I research NinjaFlex printing a little more.
Today the NinjaFlex filament arrived and I was ready to create the Lego Tape by Adafruit.
But.... my learning curve is a little steep right now. First I wasn't preparing the machine right. The default NinjaFlex on the Prusa didn't match the printing guidelines that came with the filament. Of course I didn't realize there was a NinjaFlex printing setting at first and if the nozzle isn't heated correctly no filament will come out. The filament is amazingly flexible which provides a little bit of a challenge when loading since I have only used PLA.
