Saves all the extra links and torque required...

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.

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

What temp are you printing the NF at? My extruder doesn't seem to go about 212C but that seems to do the job but I would have liked to have seen if a few degrees more would have yielded better results.

On extrusion particularly. You just can't print quickly with flex unless it's fully constrained in the extruder. This is the pay off for flexible.

20Mm/s is still more than 10% of stock speed anyway. But you have to go slow to feed reliably.. Its just how it is. If you want quick.. Don't use flex smile

But feeding is proving unreliable as the filament doubles and folds whilst being fed.
