•Extreme Performance: Superb toughness, impact resistance, and high rebound – built to withstand intense gameplay.
•Printing Friendly: Excellent balance of flexibility and rigidity, 1.75mm diameter ensures smooth printing without clogs.compatible with popular FDM printers like Creality Ender, Flashforge, ELEGOO, and Bambu.
•The Professional's Choice: PEBA material, designed for makers and sports enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance.
3D-printed shoes
Honeycomb-patterned hollow-moulded construction delivers both breathability and abrasion resistance. Superior impact resistance compared to TPU effectively absorbs forces during movement. With elastic recovery exceeding 85%, it reduces exercise fatigue and is commonly employed in running shoe midsoles.
3D Printed Bicycle Saddle
PEBA exhibits exceptional high resilience, effectively absorbing road vibrations during cycling to reduce pressure concentration on the ischial tuberosities. While lightweight, it also possesses considerable abrasion resistance and weather resistance, capable of withstanding dynamic loads encountered during cycling to prevent fracture or deformation.
3D Printed Pet Interactive Ball
Lightweight design with 15% to 20% lower density than TPU. PEBA balls are lighter for the same volume, exceptionally bite-resistant and tear-resistant, matching injection-moulded quality, and maintain shape over prolonged use.
3D Printed Basketball
The PEBA-printed basketball exhibits outstanding elasticity and cushioning properties, enabling rapid rebound upon landing. Its excellent abrasion resistance and tear strength effectively withstand surface wear and internal structural damage.




Why Choose Our PEBA Flexible Filament?
• Optimized Design for Sports
◦ High Rebound: Provides a bounce and feel comparable or even superior to traditional inflatable balls.
◦ Excellent Abrasion Resistance: Holds up on courts, concrete – significantly extends lifespan.
◦ Superior Impact Resistance: Resists cracking or deforming even under fierce impacts and dribbling.
• Outstanding Mechanical Properties
◦ High Flexibility: The filament itself is highly flexible, allowing the printed lattice structure to effectively absorb shock.
◦ Excellent Layer Adhesion: Ensures prints are strong and monolithic, less prone to splitting at layer lines.
◦ Low Creep: Maintains shape stability under long-term pressure for lasting performance.
• Simple & User-Friendly Printing Experience
◦ Perfect Flexibility-Rigidity Balance: Not too soft to cause feeding issues, not too hard to lose flexible benefits – high success rate.
◦ Recommended Print Settings: We provide verified print parameter suggestions (see below) to get you started easily.
◦ 1.75mm ± 0.03mm Diameter: Strict diameter tolerance ensures stable flow and helps prevent nozzle clogs.
You Can Use It To Create:
• Airless Basketballs/Soccer Balls: Create personalized team training balls or unique gifts.
• Custom Sports Equipment: Like shoe midsoles, protective pads, grips, etc., to enhance performance.
• High-Demand Functional Prototypes: Industrial parts, automotive components requiring high toughness and durability.
• Creative Homeware & Toys: Print durable flexible toys, phone stands, shock absorbers, etc.

FAQ
Q: I'm new to 3D printing, is this material easy to print with?
A: Yes! As long as you follow our recommended print settings and use a well-tuned FDM printer (a direct-drive extruder is suggested), you can achieve excellent results.
Q: Can the printed basketball really be used for playing?
A: Absolutely! This material is designed specifically to withstand sports impacts. The printed airless basketball structure offers excellent elasticity and durability, making it very suitable for actual play and training. We recommend using a high infill density (e.g., 80%-100%) for best performance.
Q: How should the filament be stored?
A: PEBA material can absorb moisture from the air. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, keep it in a sealed bag with desiccant or in a dry box.
