NinjaTek Cheetah 1.75mm 95A TPU Flexible Filament (0.5kg, Steel)

The manufacturer's description of this filament states that it is compatible with most printers which can print PLA and ABS. I own a Sindoh 3DWOX1 printer since two years. Sindoh does not recommend that TPU is used in this printer, but it sounded like this filament was designed to improve compatibility, i.e., it is less soft than most TPU filaments. Well, it did not end too well. Filament got loaded into the Bowden tube, but almost instantly after that formed a loop in the gearbox and got jammed in the gears. I found that it ended up being wrapped around the gears multiple times. And yes, the settings were copied from the manufacturer's web site, so I do not see it as an operator's mistake. Never happened with this printer before. 3DWOX1 is serviceable, but the task of removing the motor and gear box itself for the first time and assembling it back turned out to be fairly elaborate and took close to 4 hours. Luckily, I was able to put everything together, no permanent damage, but lesson learned. It is not nearly as compatible as manufacturer likes customers to believe. My thought is, it should work much better with direct feed systems. Also, printers with relatively open gear boxes, which are easy to clean if filament jams, are a lower risk. Since I was unable to print anything, cannot comment on quality of the final prints. Customer service, in the aftermath of this failure, was great!
