Move With It – Flexible PLA Range

We are proud to offer 14 distinct shades of Flexible PLA, designed for prints that require strength with controlled flexibility. From soft, subtle tones to more defined colours, each filament is engineered to maintain consistent performance while allowing parts to bend, absorb impact, and return to shape without failure.

Disclaimer on Colour Accuracy: The filament colours displayed above have been specified using online hexcode sources and our Nix Mini 3 colour sensor, allowing us to assess and scan each filament shade in person for greater accuracy. Shades may vary slightly from the actual physical product due to differences in screen calibration, lighting, and digital representation.

Flexible Filament, AMS Considerations

Designed to Print Smoothly, With a Few Limits

Flexible PLA can be used on Bambu Lab printers, however it is not recommended for use with the AMS system.
Due to the softer, more compressible nature of flexible filaments, feeding through the AMS can lead to inconsistent extrusion, slipping, or potential jams within the system.
For best results, we recommend printing Flexible PLA using a direct feed setup or external spool holder.
This ensures smooth filament flow, better control, and more reliable print performance.
When printed correctly, Flexible PLA delivers excellent flexibility, strong layer adhesion, and clean results, making it ideal for functional parts, wearables, and impact resistant designs.

Flexible Performance

Flexible PLA is engineered to bend, compress, and return to shape without cracking, making it ideal for parts that need movement or impact resistance.
It offers a controlled level of flexibility while still maintaining structural integrity, giving you the best of both worlds.
This makes it perfect for functional prints such as clips, protective covers, wearables, and components that experience repeated stress or motion.

Reliable, Smooth Printing

Despite its flexible properties, this filament is designed to print with consistency and control.
With steady flow and strong bonding between layers, it creates neat results without the extra stringing or unpredictability that softer materials usually have.
With the right settings, Flexible PLA delivers smooth surfaces, accurate detail, and dependable performance across a wide range of printers.

Comfortable & Impact Resistant

Flexible PLA absorbs shock and reduces brittleness, making it ideal for applications where durability and comfort matter.
It provides a softer finish compared to rigid filaments while still maintaining enough strength for practical use.
Whether you’re printing protective parts, grips, or wearable items, this material offers a balance of flexibility and toughness that standard PLA simply can’t achieve.

Flexible PLA Performance at a Glance

Flexible PLA stands out for its high flexibility and durability, making it ideal for parts that need to bend, absorb impact, and withstand repeated use.
While it is slightly more demanding to print than standard PLA, it still offers a manageable experience with the right settings.
With moderate strength and lower heat resistance, it is best suited for functional indoor applications where movement and resilience are more important than rigidity.

Technical Specifications

Product Specifications

OzFDM’s Flexible PLA is designed to deliver reliable performance while maintaining the soft, elastic properties expected from a flexible material. Each spool is produced with tight diameter consistency and carefully controlled formulation to ensure smooth extrusion and dependable results across a wide range of printers. Packaged in a sealed environment with desiccant, it stays print ready from the moment you open the box.

Filament weight: 1 kg
Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
Dimensional tolerance: ±0.03mm
Spool weight (empty): 150 g
Spool weight (new): 1.15 kg
Spool diameter outer: 200 mm
Spool diameter inner (hub): 52 mm
Spool width: 65 mm
Package weight: 1.3 kg
Package dimensions: 210mm x 220mm x 75mm
Drying recommendation: 60°C for 6+ hours using a filament dryer / food dehydrator.
Storage recommendation: Airtight bag or container with desiccant in a cool, dark and dry area to prevent moisture absorption. For optimal long term storage we recommend drying the filament prior to sealing the filament spool in a vacuum bag with desiccant.

Print Parameters

Printing at lower speeds with Flexible PLA compared to standard PLA allows the material to flow consistently without buckling or resistance in the feed path. With the right balance of temperature, retraction, and movement control, it produces clean layers and strong bonding. Dialling in slower, more controlled settings will give you the best results, especially for detailed or functional parts.

Nozzle temperature: 180°C - 220°C

Physical Properties

This material has a soft, slightly rubber like feel with a smooth surface finish that enhances both appearance and usability. It is less rigid than traditional PLA, allowing for impact absorption and vibration resistance. Depending on print settings, it can produce anything from firm flexible parts to softer, more elastic results.

DensityISO 1183: 1.25~1.26 g/cm³
Melt flow rate (190°C/2.16 kg)ISO 1133: 6~10 g/10min
Moisture absorption (23°C/24h)ISO 62: <0.5%

Thermodynamic Properties

Flexible PLA maintains stable performance within standard PLA temperature ranges, making it easy to work with while offering added flexibility. It does not require extreme heat conditions, but benefits from consistent thermal control to ensure proper layer adhesion. While not suited for high temperature environments, it performs reliably in everyday applications where flexibility and stability are key.

Its flexible, just dont use too many supports as not so easy to just break off

Awesome service

1.75 mm flexible PLA filament

This filament prints very easily on my MK3S+. Strong and flexible prints, with a deep colour. Just think about using a separation layer perhaps, as it adheres strongly to all the build plates that I have.

Thank you for the review Gareth. Appreciate you helping others out with the extra tips too!
