Depends on the material and the speed... Hotter you run faster you can print (materials other than nf)... I also use metal extruders so can run hotter and faster... It all depends.
Anyway.. Key to proper NF is slower printing specifically extending.. Slower speeds don't need as hot either for equivocal results
On my SD4, I am having good success printing at 20mm/s. For ABS, I typically run at 60. Make sure you keep the flexible filament loose into the extruder (don't have the extruder pull it directly off the spool). Since it is so flexible, the tension on the input of the extruder has a big impact on the amount of extrusion so you won't be happy with your prints unless you keep this constant.
I found that exactly to be right. I have to baby sit and constantly feed it so it doesn't stretch the filament in stead of turning the spool. Not great for print and forget.
I'm considering putting the spool on bearings and even having the spool motorised.
I ended up making a feeder (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/10842/ninjaflex-success/) which seems to do the trick.
Mounting it above on some pvc tube etc also works wonders... Saves all the extra links and torque required...
