Hi

We have used Flexifil and had great results …we also see this item on our website http://www.mes3dfilaments.co.uk/ if you wish to take a look at it.

I would say that the success really depends from the combination between the printer and the filament.

Avoid bowden based printers as much as possible.

On my Ultimaker 2 : I achieved to print with Ninjaflex. Not with Filaflex.

On my Printrbot Simple : I achieved to print with both (I have the gear extruder).

I would say, buy some samples from http://shop.3dfilaprint.com/.

Test on your printer with various parameters and buy a spool when the process is stable.

If you want to find all the flexible filaments on the market, you can get manufacturers / reviews / print settings on www.filaments.directory.

Good luck and share you findings !

Hey Hltec,

I recomend flex 45 as it is really easy to print with PLA settings. (the bed has to be a bit hotter)

you can try ordering it from https://www.makerpoint.nl/en/

Here are the different types of flexible filament they have: https://www.makerpoint.nl/en/3d-printing/filament/makerpoint/mp-flex/

a month late but I really felt the need to chime in. I sell filaments here in the US and sometimes feel a bit unlucky with the quality of products we have vs Europe. I know, most Americans love the whole “made in the USA” thing and it does hold true to certain products but honestly Europe is a leader in quality tech products and the filaments I have tested from European companies is on a different level playing field then most of the US brands. Italy in particular has 2 filament makers that produce some of the best quality and such a variety. EUMAKERS and Treed if you are in Europe will provide you the best quality. EUMAKERS has a great TPU Flex filament and Treed has 3 filament lines that offer flexibility- Flexible TPE HP, Flexmark 7-8-9 Flexible TPU, and Ultraflexx Flexible TPE-E. EUMAKERS is better on your pocket book, but Treed offers some of the most genius filaments I have come across. Good luck, happy printing.
