imgur.comLooks like you may be experiencing a jam in the hotend. try some cold pulls. Else it could be a drive issue, check that your filament drive idler pressure is sufficient to engage the filament properly.

It looks like how my PLA did when the extruder was clicking because the power of the extruder needed adjusted. Is the extruder clicking while printing your ninjaflex? Maybe raise the temperature a few degrees and see what happens?

Noticed you mentioned you're running on the Monoprice Dual Extruder, how do you like it so far minus this recent hiccup. Is it an overall dependable machine? Have you had any experience with their customer service? How easy is it to set up. I got a recommendation for one of these but I don't know much about it or the company behind it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a rather dependable machine, you can get some great quality prints if you're willing to put the time into it. It doesn't come with an enclosure or an active cooling fan, but they aren't particularly hard to make and get working. I personally haven't found any use from their customer support and figured out most of my problems through trial and error or through the community (since it's a clone of the Flashforge Creator X, its very similar to the Flashforge creator line and the Makerbot Replicator 1). While I didn't get to set this one up, my Creator Pro was pretty easy to get setup and working. Overall, if you're willing to put the time into it, you can get some great prints out of it.

It seemed to be extruding way too thin, but is that all that's messed up?
Monoprice Dual Extruder with this extruder mod
Extruder 225 C
HBP off, buildtak
15% honeycomb infill
2 shells
Speeds between 10-30 mm/s
Retraction 2 mm at 60 mm/s
No active cooling, enclosure
From what I know, Ninjaflex does not put up with retraction. Turn that off. It's going to ooze and you'll have to deal with that.
