The best flexible filaments (TPU\/TPE\/TPC) for your needs and budget. Get an overview of the best brands available on the market right now!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are countless reasons why your 3D printed part may need to be flexible, bendy, elastic, or soft to the touch. Fortunately, there\u2019s a growing range of filaments on the market that can deliver just the characteristics you\u2019re looking for while being easy to print.<\/p>\n

Flexible filaments can offer elasticity and durability, strength, and other attractive features, such as flame-retardancy, food-safety, and anti-bacterial properties. They can eliminate electrostatic discharge, resist fading in UV light, and stand up to chemical solvents, which makes them also ideal for industrial applications. More often today, you\u2019ll find flexible filaments approved for long-term skin contact, so they\u2019re ideal for prosthetics and wearable electronics. There are also flexible filaments made from 100% recycled material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here, we look at material options to consider for printing quality, flexible parts for everything from auto parts to smartphone covers. Flexible filament is made from a range of materials, including TPU, TPE, TPC, PEBA, and proprietary blends offering unique combinations of print characteristics.<\/p>\n

There are far cheaper flexible filaments available than our picks here but, buyer beware. Unless your filament comes from a brand or reseller you trust and is accompanied by a full technical specification sheet, you\u2019re risking hours of frustration with failed prints.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not quite sure what makes one flexible filament different from another or which Shore hardness you\u2019re looking for, skip to the technical section at the end to learn more, and don\u2019t miss our essential tips for printing with this sometimes tricky material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

NinjaTek offers four kinds of TPU filament (NinjaFlex, Cheetah, Armadillo, and Eel) and one TPE, all with varying properties in a wide range of colors.<\/p>\n

NinjaFlex has a shore hardness of 85A, making it extremely flexible and squishy. The company says its proprietary technology enables a low-tack, easy-to-feed texture ideal for direct-drive extruders. The material has abrasion and chemical resistance and results in consistent printed parts.<\/p>\n

Cheetah TPU is designed to be able to print at higher speeds, hence the name, while the NinjaTek Armadillo is a non-flexible TPU that features the extremely tough and abrasion-resistant qualities of TPU in an extremely strong, rigid material that can be used as an alternative to PLA, ABS, and even nylon filaments. This TPU is meant for printing high-wear parts, such as gears, fasteners, and protective cases.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Chinchilla filament is the softest of the bunch, created through a proprietary blend of TPE resins. With Chinchilla, you can create soft, long-lasting printed parts for fashion, healthcare, and grips. Chinchilla has been tested to be skin-safe using EpiDerm Skin Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fillamentum is a well-known, reliable filament manufacturer, and their\u00a0Flexfill TPU<\/span>\u00a0is definitely worth a try. Flexfill TPU has two available shore hardnesses: 92A and 98A. The 92A line is very soft, while the 98A line is a bit stiffer than some of the other TPU filaments on this list, plus it\u2019s easier to print.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Flexible TPE\u202fis\u202fsafe for food-contact applications and for applications in contact with skin. It\u2019s also available in two different hardnesses 90A & 96A\u202fShore. Filamentum\u2019s new Flexfill PEBA 90A is flexible with unique thermal, mechanical, and chemical behavior from other TPEs.

Filaflex was first created in 2013 as one of the first elastic filaments for 3D printers, and since that time the company has introduced several versions, including a TPU 100% from recycled origin and a new electrically conductive TPU called Conductive Filaflex.<\/p>\n

The filaments of the Filaflex range have great print bed adhesion, so they don\u2019t need a heated bed, blue tape, or any adhesive. They\u2019re also odorless and resistant to solvents, acetone, and fuel.<\/p>\n

Reciflex is a flexible TPU filament, 100% of recycled origin, both from footwear industry leftovers and from Recreus\u2019 internal production. Its hardness ranges between 96A and 98A Shore due to the variations attributable to its origin as a recycled material, practically imperceptible in the printed parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

ColorFabb\u2019s nGen Flex, made with Eastman\u2019s Amphora FL6000, is a flexible material uniquely engineered for industrial extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes. The company says its layer-to-layer adhesion and melt strength enables it to prints at a faster speed than other elastomeric materials, saving you time. The nGen Flex is an engineering-grade material with high durability and toughness, enabling designers to create truly functional parts that can withstand the rigors of everyday use.<\/p>\n

nGen Flex\u2019s high-temperature resistance enables steam sterilization so users may find it to be the ideal polymer for additive manufacturing of prosthetics and orthotics, along with automotive parts, apparel, tooling, or a variety of consumer products.<\/p>\n

The ColorFabb varioShore TPU features variable shore hardness, reduced weight and density, and soft touch. The variable softness is achieved by altering the print temperature. Temperatures between 200\u00baC and 250\u00baC will result in very soft prints whereas lower temperatures result in more rigid prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
