Hey guys which would be the best filament for a cell phone case? Something that gives while popping in the phone but regains its composure?

Thanks!

SemiFlex or Taulman Bridge

Have you tried semiflex Insta?

I haven't tried either. I've tried NinjaFlex and it's too springy for a phone case, but SemiFlex is advertised as a midpoint between NinjaFlex and regular PLA.

It looks like a really cool material! I'd like to try it very soon.

I ordered the Taulman Bridge to try out. Will try to find the other if it Taulman doesn't work out. I did a quick search but couldn't find who stocked the semiflex. Thanks insta!

You can get it from Fenner Drives directly: http://www.fennerdrives.com/ninjaflex3dprinting/_/3d/// (it's under "Select Product")

Thanks, I'll check it out if the T Bridge doesn't work out.

Not sure if you have printed any nylon before. The bridge type does stick to the bed more consistantly but it does warp just as bad as the 618. Even a small part that is 1" square can be extremely tough. Just trynit and see what you come up with. It does need to be printed a little slower.

Will be my first time. Thanks Jim will ask for tips and post the results when it gets here.
