Flexible TPU filament for shock-absorbing prints

E3D spoolWorks FleXD is a 1.75 mm semi-flexible TPU filament supplied on a 500 g spool in Sweet Orange. It prints at 220-240 °C with a bed at 45-85 °C and delivers high shear strength plus high abrasion resistance. The material stays elastic and flexible while producing rich, solid colour.

Makers who need durable, bendable parts

This filament suits users printing phone cases, keyboard protectors, insoles or flexible vases and benchys that must survive repeated bending and impact. It adheres well with a glue stick and works with water-soluble scaffold support for clean overhangs. Builders who require rigid structural parts or very high-speed printing should consider other materials.

Print speed capped at 15 mm/s for reliable extrusion

The manufacturer specifies a print speed of 30 % (15 mm/s) to maintain consistent flow and layer adhesion with this flexible formulation. Running faster typically causes under-extrusion or jamming, so the 15 mm/s figure is the practical limit for successful prints. Adjust temperature within the 220-240 °C range to fine-tune results for your specific printer.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1.75mm FleXD spool on my printer and what step do people get wrong?

Mount the 500g spool, set the hotend to 220-240°C and the bed to 45-85°C, apply a glue stick for adhesion, and print at 15mm/s; the step most users miss is slowing the speed to 30% so the flexible filament does not buckle in the extruder.

What maintenance or replacement will the FleXD filament need later?

Store the spool in a sealed bag with desiccant to stop moisture absorption; if the filament becomes brittle or hisses during printing, dry it at low heat before use, otherwise no scheduled replacement is required.

What limit appears first during a long print with FleXD?

The 15mm/s feed rate is the first bottleneck; pushing beyond it causes under-extrusion and jams because the elastic material cannot be pushed faster through the hotend.
