Filament ROSA-PLAST Rosa3D Flex 96A 1.75 mm 0.5 kg — Blue

ROSA-PLAST Rosa3D Flex 96A is a flexible 3D printing filament in blue with a 1.75 mm diameter supplied on a 0.5 kg spool. This elastomeric material has a Shore hardness of 96A, offering limited elasticity combined with good surface detail and dimensional stability. It is intended for use in FDM/FFF printers that accept 1.75 mm filament and is suited to parts that require resilience, impact absorption or soft contact surfaces.

Advantages

Rosa3D Flex 96A balances flexibility and firmness, enabling prints that retain shape while providing cushioning and resistance to wear. The 1.75 mm diameter ensures broad compatibility with most hobbyist and prosumer extruders. The blue color provides consistent visual identification of flexible components, and the filament formulation is optimized for reliable extrusion and layer adhesion on compatible printers and print settings.

Suitable for

• Gaskets and seals requiring compressibility and recovery
• Shock-absorbing mounts and pads
• Wearable prototypes and ergonomic grips
• Flexible hinges and snap-fit connectors
• Small parts that need surface detail with moderate elasticity

Key specifications

• Material type: elastomeric flexible filament
• Shore hardness: 96A (flexible but firm)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 0.5 kg
• Color: blue
• Printing technology: FDM/FFF (compatible with 1.75 mm extruders)

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm Rosa3D Flex 96A filament into a printer configured for flexible filaments, using a direct-drive extruder where possible to reduce feeding issues. Start with moderate print speeds and increased retraction settings disabled or reduced to avoid filament buckling. Use a nozzle temperature and bed temperature appropriate to the printer and filament family; tune first-layer height and extrusion multiplier to achieve good bed adhesion and consistent layer lines. Print settings such as slower travel moves, careful coasting and minimal retraction will help produce smooth flexible parts with accurate dimensions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a direct-drive extruder or a well-tuned Bowden setup with a short, constrained filament path. Test print small calibration pieces to determine optimal nozzle temperature, print speed and retraction behavior for your printer. Store the filament in a dry place or sealed container with desiccant to maintain print quality over time.
