Soft and Pretty
The SpiderMaker SpiderFlex Matte Finish Flexible TPE (TPU) Filament in Coal Black is noticeably softer than my other 83A filament, making it ideal for flexible projects. The matte black finish looks great, giving a professional appearance to prints. I use it with my Prusa MK3s+ without any issues, enjoying smooth printing every time.It is a little pricey but i am only using it for small parts/gaskets so it is relatively cost effective.For those wondering about the Shore hardness accuracy, my experience confirms it's spot-on. This filament not only promises but also delivers flexibility and quality in its prints.

Great TPU! Love the finish and feel. Some tips for printing it well...
I use this filament for light blockers I make and sell for Nreal (Xreal) Air AR glasses (what's pictured). Once you get the setting dialed in a prints fantastically.You WILL need a direct drive printer to get really good results (I've tried on a few non direct drive and just couldn't get it working great).On my Qidi Tech X Max printers I have the temps set to 220 nozzle and bed at 0, retraction at 3mm with 30mm/s retraction speed, retract at layer change, and enable coasting, print speed is at 30mm/s. On my BambuLab P1P's I used the default TPU profile, but changed max volumetric speed to 3mm3/s and retraction to 2mm, same temps as the Qidi. These provide great results with no stringing and easy to remove supports.If you want SOFT TPU that has a great matte finish and have the right printer to print it with, I'd definitely recommend this filament.

Softer than TPU95, but not squishy enough.
Printed on BambuLab X1 using recommended settings. 30mm/s super slow but easy to print and no major defects. Will try stock TPU95 settings next, TPU95 high flow. Overall decent product but nowhere near the feel or ductility of silicone. Printed GoogleTV streamer remote cover as none on the market. Still will buy a silicone version when available.

High quality flexible filament
Probably stating the obvious but this filament is much softer than the 95A TPU and NinjaFlex filaments I've used in the past. Perfect for printing tires, gaskets, rubber feet, and the like. The matte finish provides better grip, and it reduces visibility of layers (just like in the photo).This stuff is pricy so be sure to use filament dryers / vacuum storage bags to maintain filament quality over time.

Good product
Received product on time. Package properly protected and no damage.This was the first time using g TPE and it worked great. I did use the recommended settings and had no issues. I had to print with support on one part using PVA . It worked fine, looking forward to buying more

Great flexible filament
You have to print really slowly but it prints really well. It has a matte finish and looks really good.

print at 250C and this stuff is sooo durable!!!!
We bought several different TPU, TPE option off amazon to test and compare and this stuff is the best!!! prints nice on our bambu x1 carbon (not in the AMS!). Get it and be amazed at how tough it is. I also don't print on a textured build plate or you wont be able to get it off, just do the same as you would for PLA and then we run the nozzle at 250, but you may need to play with it. Hotter helps the layers bond really well.

Dissapointed, not 75A soft
I purchased the skin colored SpiderFlex to print some CGM covers for my wife. I have been using NinjaFlex filament (85A shore hardness) but would like a softer material for this application. The SpiderFlex claims to be 75A which should be much softer. Unfortunately, it is not. In softness it seems very close to, or maybe a little bit stiffer than the NinjaFlex. As far as elasticity goes, it is terrible. If I stretch the print more than just a few percent of its shape it deforms and will not spring back to its original shape. The NinjaFlex has no problem here and will allow significant stretching without permanent deformation.On the good side, the color is perfect for skin type applications and the matte finish looks good. The SpiderFlex printed well at 230C with very little stringing for flex material and had no other print problems at all (on a PRUSA MK4).
