These specialised 1kg spools of 1.75mm “eLastic” TPE Black Filament are supplied by eSUN, and are capable of flexing, bending and stretching after being printed. The plastic is a TPE, or Thermoplastic Elastomer, which is a combination of copolymers or polymers like plastic and rubber. This gives it amazing bending and flexural strength, with an impressive elongation before breaking as well, allowing it to be used for very unique applications – especially since you can print your own custom 3D Printing designs.

This filament, albeit offering very different end-results to other filaments, is relatively easy to work with, and requires no special tools, 3D Printers or extreme temperatures, and instead simply prints at around the same temperature range as PLA+ Filaments. This ensures that even beginners will be able to test out this excitingly Unique Filament, and as long as they have printed in ABS or PLA+ before, they should be able to figure out their ideal printing specifications within just a few test prints.

So, it’s time to start making your own stretchy keyrings, elastic mounting bands or even a new pair of flip-flops with eSUN’s patented eLastic TPE filament.

Great Filament

Although it is not for every printer, direct drive is pretty much mandatory.
I have been experimenting with this plastic and have received consistent results and incredible details. low layer heights are recommended for a lower nozzle flow rate.
On our printer setups we use 240C on nozzle and 50 on bed, it sticks very well and layer adhesion is pretty much perfect.

Not for the beginner

This filament is great for printing gaskets and O-rings.
Its extremely flexible, similar to the silicone nozzle cover, and very strong.

It is though not an easy filament to work with.
You will need to tweak all the printer settings to get this to print neatly.

the filament on the roll is like string and has no sturdiness.

Cant print tall structures as the filament is too flexible and moves with the nozzle.

Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd was established in 2002 in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and has rapidly become one of the leading international suppliers of 3D Printing Filament. They specialise in research, development and production of degradable polymer materials, and have grown their catalogue of filaments to include PLA, ABS, PC, PVA, and a wide range of other polymers and copolymers.


Their list of exclusive filament formulas include unique materials like wood, aluminium, bronze and other materials to create highly specialised filaments that can stretch, bend, be moulded or otherwise behave in very unique ways. Their filaments are also commonly characterised by their absolutely round shape, extremely low diameter tolerance, uniform colours and impressively stable melting points. These characteristics, in combination with their long-term insistent policy of “Best Quality, Reasonable Price” has garnered them a large share of the market, with their reputation commonly preceding them within knowledgeable online and offline 3D Printing communities.


eSUN’s popularity in the industry has also helped to produce sustainable partnerships with many internationally famous 3D Printer manufacturers and distributors, with DIYElectronics having sole distributorship rights to provide their 3D Printing Filaments to South Africa and neighbouring African countries.
