An awesome flexible elastic filament. This is a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). You will not believe your prints can flex like this!
As the first flexible material on the market, NinjaFlex® TPU filament has proprietary technology that boasts 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.
