If you had printed different flexible filaments in the past, what is your favorite and why?

Try Fillamentum.com and their Flexfill 92A/98A, as they are Central European quality brand for good price (most of my spools – PLA, ABS, ASA – are from them now). I have also quite good experience with Innofil3D samples, but their flexible material is not suitable for modell tires etc. (low friction).

I’ve only used ninjaflex and not extensive.

@Tomas_Vit I looked it up and they claim their flex-filament at 92Sh A. Wikipedia says, this is rather hard, given a car tire is at around 70… Or is there a different chart?

@Rene_Jurack As I know, there are more different charts. If you want to try use it for tires, look at the work of Czech designer @cwx37 . His modell car with 3D printed tires (Fillamentum Flexfill 92A) is simply marvelous: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcEvEDf7UtLjMEKhl4au2lw :wink:

Na, I don’t want to use it for tires. I just compared it to a thing I know :smiley: Thanks, I will look further into it…

As far as I’ve been able to see, flexible filaments are all quite hard within the normal range for elastomers. Real car tires are only particularly hard because they’re thick, reinforced with metal, and inflated with pressure.

Flexismart cause its cheap. Ninjaflex cause its so soft. Now ive got innoflex and its so robust!

Reprappers flex cheap and durable

I would like to try lay-fom 40, prints like PLA but soak it in water a couple of days and it turns sponge like…
