I’ve gotten a few prints made using NinjaFlex…it’s super strong with layer bonding and still pretty flexible. It has a little bit of a plastic feel to it…I think it’s around 85 durometer.
One filament I want to try out is called Flex 65. It looks to be a fair bit softer (65 durometer) than NinjaFlex. Here’s the link for info:http://www.3d2print.net/shop/product/flex-65-filament-black/
A few other’s I’ve found that I think are similar to the NinjaFlex:

Printing with elastic/flexible filaments is quite a challenge for every printer.
Direct drive printers can print flexible filaments easier because the filament can not compress as much as in a bowden tube from a bowden printer.
Try printing speeds of up to 20mm/s but not more ! You also have to adjust the speed of retraction (slow everything down, exept travel movement).
Ninjaflex prints similar to ABS when you think about bridging and overhangs.
Take a look at this video as guidline:

I have tried the Plastink first Gomma sample packs, that for what i noticed are not available any more. I must say that, those ones are not like ninjaflex filaments. Are flexible but do not stretch. If is that you are looking for, you will not need any special extruder or feeder. You only need low printing speeds, heated bed at 70°C and some stick glue.
Cheers
