About this model

Print it in Ninjaflex at 70mm/s with the Flexion Extruder This is a flexible variation of the same octopus that has been modified by many others. It was printed on a Makerbot Replicator with this new flexible TPE filament: Video: Printer info: Makerbot Replicator (original version with the MK8 spring loaded extruder upgrade). Extruder temp: 215 C Platform: Room temp, bare aluminum, glass, or Kapton tape all worked well Standard Replicator settings worked well, but I got the best results after I played with the retraction settings. Retraction Settings (In Skeinforge under Dimension tab): Minimum Travel for Retraction: 1.0mm Retraction Distance: 2.0mm
