Topic: First impressions of PolyFlex and Low Warp ABS filaments

I am finally getting around to using this Low Warp ABS by Push Plastic in my Robox. It’s pretty sweet. I printed two parts known to want to lift and curl at the corners with nary a squiggle. I use the same printing parameters as normal ABS. I also don’t notice any odor although that is not conclusive since I am not bothered by normal ABS odor.

I am still testing it but so far I am quite happy with PolyMaker’s  PolyFlex filament. It loads easily in my direct drive HICTOP i3 Prusa clone, feeds well and prints with good detail and a nice finish. I liken it to something between NinjaFlex and SemiFlex. To me, NinjaFlex is a pain in the behind to feed while SemiFLex feeds well but makes a plasticy, but flexible, part. PolyFlex makes a rubbery part that seems like it could bend and twist many, many times with no problem.
I expect to be using a lot of these filaments from now on.

I just used PolyFlex in my Robox printer with no problems. Very nice indeed.
