Easy to use even for less experienced users
Unlike some softer flexible filaments, Gembird FLEX is very easy to print with.
The material has
high dimensional accuracy, even winding, and a stable filament diameter, so it works well even in printers with a
Bowden extruder (not just Direct Drive). Thanks to the
carefully selected TPU composition, the filament has an ideal balance between
flexibility and printability, making it an excellent material for everyday use in the workshop, on a home printer, or in small-scale production.
Main features of the Gembird FLEX filament:
-
High flexibility – prints can be bent, squeezed, and stretched
-
Resistance to wear, tearing, and impacts
-
Excellent layer adhesion and dimensional stability
-
Low shrinkage during printing and a smooth surface
-
Chemical resistance to oils, fats, and common solvents
-
Precise diameter (1.75 mm) for reliable material feeding
Practical use in practice
Thanks to its flexibility and strength, Gembird FLEX filament is ideal for manufacturing seals, flexible holders, cases, handles, anti-slip accessories, bumpers, or model-making components.
Prints made from this material withstand
mechanical stress and vibrations well, making them suitable for
technical or structural prototypes as well. The material has
excellent shape memory – after compression or stretching, it returns to its original shape.
Print parameters:
-
Nozzle temperature: 210–240 °C
-
Bed: 50–60 °C
-
Print speed: 20–40 mm/s
For the best results, it is recommended to print at a lower speed and with minimal retraction settings to prevent overpressure in the extruder.
Variety and quality in every spool
The Gembird FLEX filaments are available in several color variants, suitable for both functional and aesthetically interesting prints. Each spool is precision-wound, vacuum-sealed, and protected against moisture, ensuring a long shelf life and consistent results. The material is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers, so no special equipment is required.
An economical and reliable choice for flexible printing
FLEX Gembird offers an excellent balance of price, performance, and reliability. It is sturdy enough for functional applications while also flexible enough for creative projects. Thanks to its easy processing, it is also suitable for those who are just starting out with flexible filaments.
The Gembird FLEX Filaments category offers high-quality TPU material for universal use – from technical components to designer accessories. An ideal choice for anyone who wants to print flexible, durable, and long-lasting functional prints without complicated printer setup.
