A week ago we launched nGen_FLEX, our brand new semi-flexible 3D printing filament, at the TCT Show. We love printing with the new nGen_FLEX filament ourselves all day long, but what excites us even more is the feedback we are getting from all over the world. Below is a selection of the prints and comments we have received so far in the first week. After taking in initial pre-orders, we have started shipping nGen_FLEX earlier this week and will continue doing so, so we expect more awesome prints to show up in the time to come.
In the meantime, enjoy the prints that were already made by our users, whom we thank for sharing them:

So my sample of #NgenFlex from @ColorFabb I got at TCT went to print slot car wheels. An they work rather well! pic.twitter.com/QffUEDohP8

I have some @ColorFabb #nGen_flex as well – incredible material. Layer adhesion off the charts. Flexible, but not "squishy" https://t.co/IV2YHnNdar

Have been testing @colorFabb Ngen Flex on unheated @BuildTak. Works quite well for low density parts. Large parts work well with raft.

In terms of functionality and ease of printing we have you covered.
nGen_FLEX is made for those who are seriously looking for a engineering grade semi-flex material, capable of withstanding high temperatures, good chemical stability and result in tough parts fit for real world use. With nGen_FLEX you won’t need to compromise too much on printing speed and the need for specialized flex-extruders is eliminated.
nGen_FLEX is made with Eastman Amphora™ Flex 3D Polymer FL6000. Eastman Amphora™ 3D polymer is a low-odor, styrene-free choice that is uniquely suited for 3D printing applications. With Amphora, items can be created that are more functional, more durable, more efficient and attractive.
