Lulzbot it working on a flexystruder for the mini. In my link above you and print it out and try it yourself if you’re daring. However, no official product has been released. It is currently in development though.

I’m putting together a test head based on [https://ohai-kit.alephobjects.com/project/flexystruder\_assembly/](https://ohai-kit.alephobjects.com/project/flexystruder_assembly/)

I’ll have spare parts so maybe I can put together a kit. Stay tuned.

Printed some Ninjaflex on my prototype this morning!(short test print of just one layer.) Now I just need to create a quick profile for a Mini. Then I will have to see how it does on a longer print model, if I can think of something I want to print, maybe shoe inserts.

Well I found out the cartridge in the hot end was a 12V one! 😊

But I just finished repairing the last Camila Mini, so I may pop the flexistruder on it for this weekend and print something ‘small’. I figure the person I rework printers for will want to use/try it, and post pictures of it at work on his web site.

Printing some bed fingers with the development version flexi.
