I then trimmed the end of the bowden tube to match the profile of the hob drive diameter (as best as I could). This adaption was to improve the guiding of the filament into the hotend as like all flexible filaments they need encouragment to get pushed through small holes without buckling or wrapping around the hob gear!...I have to say that I was amazed to have this material printing on a Makerbot Replicator 2 (with added heatbed).In my setup using the heated bed (at 50 deg) gave me more confidence to use the filament but the manufacturer does state that this is not necessary and it can be printed on an unheated or untreated surface. Quality was excellent with just a few strings attached to the part after printing. Extruder temp was 220 deg and printing at 25-30 mm/sec. Layer height 0.2mm with a 0.8mm retraction. FlexiSMART has around a 80-90 shore rating from my estimation which can be a little hard for some items, but again this will need time and testing to discover the best combinations for different projects.The manufacturer does claim that this will work in most direct drive printers but as like anything in 3D printing you need to prove theclaims...I'm happy to say that with a small alteration I have now the capability of using flexible filament (I tried Ninjaflex without success) in the Replicator at last so I am very happy and can recommend FlexiSMART as a consequence.So I can highly recommend FlexiSMART ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flexible Filament that prints without a Flexible Extruder on my Dremel 3D 40. *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2017* Background**************I bought this to begin experimenting with printing fingers and hands out of a combination of PLA and a flexible filament, in this case TPE.The Filament/reel***************The filament is on a very small reel, measuring just 100mm in diameter by around 56/57 mm deep (it kinda has a ridge on the reel)Centre hole is a very small 16.8 mm.I generally found the TPE measured at 1.67mm so be warned.Printing*********I don't have a flexion extruder, so simply printed on my Dreeml 3D40 using the stock head.No heated bed.The filament was tricky to feed in, had to try a few times :(As can be seen from the image included, it took a few tries and many changes to get to a stage where I can get it to print.Settings I used******************190 degrees CBuild Speed 30 mm/sTravel Speed 40mm/sShells 4Layer Height 0.1I will continue trying.With my basic Dremel software, I have limited control at this point, but will try again over the coming week using Autodesk Print Studio (It stopped working with Windows Creator Edition, a known problem)The final print is a lovely flexible material.Any questions, let me know, hope the images help, will put some more up as I work with it more.Sarah ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure you use minimal tension on the extruder spring *by P***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2018* I almost gave up trying to make this work with a bowden setup until as a last resort, I backed my extruder spring tension all the way to the minimum. Suddenly, I could print this reliably at 50mm/s with 3mm and 40mm/s retraction!! Once I figured this out, this has been an absolutely amazing filament and have gone through almost one full roll with nothing but joy.The flexibility really depends on flow rate, number of walls and infill. At 100% flow rate with 2 walls and 15% infill, the parts can pretty much be flattened and they spring back to shape, with the walls behaving almost like an uninflated balloon. However, if you crank up the flow to 120% and 100% infill, it's almost like a car tyre.Also worth noting, it will string A LOT if stored without silica gel on a sealed container.All in all, a versatile material I will always keep around from now on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/66104437-250-g-white-flexismart-2-85-mm-flexible-filament-tpu](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/66104437-250-g-white-flexismart-2-85-mm-flexible-filament-tpu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
