Filaflex 82A 'Original' is the flagship flexible filament of the Filaflex brand and the most widely used TPU in 3D printing. With a Shore hardness of 82A and impressive 650% elongation at break, this thermoplastic polyurethane filament delivers exceptional elasticity, consistently returning to its original shape without deformation after stretching. As the industry standard for flexible printing, it combines reliability with outstanding performance.
Designed for optimal printing performance, Filaflex 82A is recommended for use with direct extrusion 3D printers and requires specific configuration guidelines different from rigid filaments. The filament features excellent bed adhesion without requiring heated bed or additional adhesives, while being odorless and resistant to various solvents and fuels. Its non-toxic nature makes it safe for skin contact, opening up numerous practical applications.

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
- A balance of flexibility and printability: the all-rounder of the range.
- Best on direct drive. On bowden extruders it can work at lower speed: the profile limits the flow automatically.
Temperatures, speeds, retraction, bed and fan depend on your printer and nozzle: they come already tuned in your profile.
