Filaflex 82A
The Filaflex 82A Original is the flagship elastic filament of the Filaflex range. The best-selling and most popular flexible filament for 3D printers.
- Shore hardness 82A
- 650% stretch
- High elasticity
- Resistant to solvents, fuel and acetone
- Odourless
- No hotbed required
- Made in the EU

The Filaflex 82A ‘Original’ is a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) elastic filament with a shore hardness of 82A, meaning that it can stretch by up to 650% before breaking. Its greatest advantage is that after stretching, it returns to its original shape without deforming or breaking.
The flexible filaments of the Filaflex range have great print bed adhesion, so they don't need a heated bed, blue tape, Kapton tape, lacquer or any other spray adhesive. What's more, they are odourless and resistant to solvents, acetone and fuel. Its printing requires different guidelines to rigid filaments. That's why the 3D printer needs to be properly configured.
Applications
Filaflex 82A is non-toxic and can be in contact with the skin. Consult for medical or food use. It can be used to create:
– Insoles: orthopaedic insoles.
– Prosthesis and organ models: prosthetic arms, hands, organs for simulation of surgical operations,...
– Flexible objects and parts for industry, automotive: buffers, gaskets, tires, grippers ...
– Textile parts and accessories: textile garments, fabrics, printing on garments, bags, earrings,...
– Footwear: soles, shoes, sandals, slippers,...
- Printing temperature
- 215-250°C.
- Print speed
- 20-60 mm/s.
- Diameter tolerance
- 0.03 mm.
- Layer height
- 0.2 mm.
- Retraction speed
- 40 mm/s at a distance of 4-6 mm. In the extreme case of an extruder jam, disable retractions.
- Tips
- Increase the flow if the extrusion of the filament is intermittent, between 105% - 115%, and reduce the pressure of the lever arm that presses the filament on the motor pulley, to avoid strangling the filament and producing jams.
- Shore hardness
- 82A
One of the best TPU filament
You have found the best name for this product; simple to describe the type (Fila_ment flex_ible) & easy to remember . To printing with your filament since fews year ago now, we can said that one of the best Tpu filament we have trying with direct drive and bowden extruder ??
Thank you very much for your comment. You are very kind and we are glad that it is one of the best Tpu filaments you have tried, it makes us very happy!
