Hi I’ve had a part printed twice and I can’t get the right filiment for my project. As I am only going by what I can read but not feel. This particular product sells in our hardware stores and this is what I’d like the print to be like. It is a very firm rubber. I like the grip of rubber but I need a very slight amount of flex. Like plastic but not so rigid but with the rubber feel. The first print I did was ABS the 2nd TPU that arrived today and its way to flimsy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Check out https://ninjatek.com/ they list the shore hardness and elongation of their filaments. One of those with a high infill percentage might work.

Hi Ive checked out there products. Im going to email them and see if they can suggest something. What we need is something very grippy like rubber but with only a slight amount of flex. It seems like everything i have read is either rigid and not grippy or rubber with too much flex…
thanks for your comment

I’ve used this: https://www.digitmakers.ca/collections/flexible-filaments-1-75-mm/products/3d-printer-filaments-t-flex?variant=26393701067
It is pretty stiff compared to some of the TPU filaments, like Ninja-Flex. Not sure about how much grip it has, but may be an option, assuming you can source it.
