FLEX Gembird filaments are designed for users who want to print elastic, flexible and durable parts with a long service life. This material is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) – a modern elastomer that combines the strength of plastic and the flexibility of rubber. Thanks to this, Gembird FLEX filament makes it easy to create seals, protective covers, damping elements, handles or design parts that can be bent, compressed and stretched without deforming or cracking.

Unlike some softer flexible filaments, Gembird FLEX is very easy to print. The material features high dimensional accuracy, even winding and a stable filament diameter, so it works well even in printers with a Bowden extruder (not only Direct Drive). Thanks to the carefully tuned TPU formulation, the filament offers an ideal balance between flexibility and printability, making it an excellent material for everyday use in the workshop, at home or in small-scale production.
Main properties of FLEX Gembird 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, greases and common solvents
Precise diameter (1.75 mm) for reliable material feeding
Thanks to its flexibility and strength, Gembird FLEX filament is ideal for producing seals, flexible holders, housings, handles, anti-slip accessories, bumpers or modelling parts. Prints made from this material are highly resistant to mechanical stress and vibrations, which also makes it suitable for technical or structural prototypes. The material has excellent shape memory – after being compressed or stretched, it returns to its original shape.
Recommended print settings:
Nozzle temperature: 210–240 °C
Bed temperature: 50–60 °C
Print speed: 20–40 mm/s
For best results, it is recommended to print at a lower speed and with minimal retraction to avoid overpressure in the extruder.
FLEX Gembird filaments are available in several color variants, suitable for both functional and visually attractive prints. Each spool is carefully 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 hardware is required.
FLEX Gembird offers an excellent balance of price, performance and reliability. It is strong enough for functional applications and flexible enough for creative projects. Thanks to its easy processing, it is also suitable for users who are just starting out with flexible filaments.
The FLEX Filaments Gembird category delivers a high-quality TPU material for universal use – from technical components to design accessories. It is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to print flexible, durable and long-lasting functional parts without complicated printer tuning.
