Filaflex 60A TPU Filament is the softest and most elastic filament in the Filaflex range, achieving an impressive Shore hardness of 60A and a breakthrough 950% elongation at break. Designed for professional-grade applications, Filaflex 60A provides unmatched flexibility and elasticity, making it ideal for advanced 3D printing needs. This latest addition to the 'Filaflex' family shares the elasticity and resilience of other Filaflex filaments (70A, 82A, and 95A), returning to its original shape without deforming when its elastic limit is not exceeded.
Due to its high elasticity, Filaflex 60A is not compatible with all-metal hotends and is not recommended for Bowden-type extrusion systems. However, it offers exceptional bed adhesion without requiring a heated bed or additional adhesives, and is resistant to certain solvents and fuels. Being odorless and safe for skin contact makes it particularly suitable for wearable applications, while proper printer configuration remains essential for optimal results.

Before you print
- Dry it: 55 °C for at least 1 hour. Most problems start with moisture.
- Feed it from an external spool (never through an AMS or MMU), ideally with a direct-drive extruder.
Good to know
- Very soft: it needs a direct-drive extruder with a well-constrained filament path. Not recommended on bowden extruders.
- Print slowly and keep the filament dry: soft grades are the most sensitive to moisture and speed. The profile already limits the flow.
Temperatures, speeds, retraction, bed and fan depend on your printer and nozzle: they come already tuned in your profile.
