Not the most flexible, but great for the price – watch the review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR_xVABJhig

This is likely my favorite flexible to print just because it is so much easier than the competitors.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a subclass of thermoplastics which prints strong parts that are also flexible.
Compatible with all FDM printers on the market that accept 1.75 mm filament. Including Prusa i3, Monoprice MakerSelect, SainSmart xCreality, WanHao & Qidi, and other RepRap printers.
With proper settings, TPU is easy to print thanks to excellent bed adhesion and the filament’s tendency to not warp.
Great for a variety of projects, such as shoe insoles, watch bands, phone cases, drone parts and more!

Do not over extrude filament when loading. As soon as the filament start protruding from the nozzle, stop. Loading any faster will
cause the filament to get caught in extruder gear.

Feed the filament directly to the extruder, and not through the feeder tube. This reduces back tension in the filament as well as drag,
ensuring proper feeding.
