Looks very cool, but kind of expensive-$50 for .5kg(aprox 1lb) Any of you filament guru's with deep pockets try it yet?

Re: Ninjaflex-TPE flexible filament
A few weeks ago I would have tried some, but after printing with trimmer line, I have no need or desire to print with anything else. Check it out. It's flexible when thin and strong as hell.

Re: Ninjaflex-TPE flexible filament
Can trimmer line make flexible prints with elastic properties? I think every material has it's place, no?Open a world of possibilities, limited only by your imagination. NinjaFlex™, a cutting-edge filament for 3D printers, is a specially formulated thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that produces flexible prints with elastic properties. Patent pending technology allows for smooth feeding and clean, high-quality printed parts.

Re: Ninjaflex-TPE flexible filament
I think it is very exciting that we are seeing such innovation in material. I caught this article this week:

and this:

The possibilities of alloying materials, using "voxel" technology is mind blowing
