Yes, I've printed with it successfully using a 0.5mm nozzle, but imo it's not worth the bother since Sainsmart TPU works better and looks better.

Hi Paolo,

That is not a slicer program, that's just my "printing log" database where I keep notes of printing settings and results. It's an old, orphaned Mac program called "Bento", which was a simplified kind of Filemaker.

Something very easy to do that works perfectly for me.  ;)
Just use some shrink tubing 1/4" diameter around the ball bearings.
I'm actually trying it with ninja flex. It seems to work except for the raft. I'l try to make the raft in semi flex then changing the filament and print in ninjaflex.

All the best to all

Nice idea! It would be important to trim the edges carefully after shrinking to make sure the outer race doesn't bind on the motor body or the mounting housing, as there's very little clearance in there. Also probably a good idea to take the "special" bearing out when printing other materials, as the pressure may be too high and cause clicking.

You're right Julia, but it is very easy tu cut it properly with a new cutter blade!

French people can have good ideas sometimes!  :D

I tried without removing the shrink tubing with semiflex and ninjaflex and it works for both.
I'm actually trying with woodfill. No click at all.
I also tried abs with the modified bearing and it was also ok.
May be with PC it should be better to remove the shrink tubing around the bearing  ::).

Hope it helps!

All the best from France.

Ils ont toujours les bonnes idées les Français! :)

Yes, for soft materials the extra tubing thickness should be OK. I was thinking about PLA, which is harder than ABS.

Dear Julia,
I also tried with PLA and it also works like a charm.
I usally use esun PLA.

Of course, for Ninjaflex and PLA semiflex, you need the Ztemp-HE head for a good printing with a 0.5 mm nozzle.

For me best results are obtained with 0.29mm layer, ABS profile and -70°C.

All the best to all.
