Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2: Flexion Extruder Install

Printing with flexible filaments such as TPU provide a whole new set of project opportunities. The problem with these filaments is guiding them through the filament path without them squirming their way out. The great team at Diabase Engineering which includes one of the inventors of Ninjaflex, solved the problem.

The Flexion extruder controls the filament pathway and compression in a very elegant solution. The kit includes a full extruder replacement of every part except the stepper motor. Take a look at the video installation and the challenges that go with installing this great piece of kit.


I was able to print a replacement bike handle for my daughter. It took a few tries to print (mostly due to a difficult design on my part) but works great.


You'll notice a seam about 1/4 of the way through the print. I did get a jam in the extruder but was able to measure, reslice and resume the print the next day.
