I have to 3D print a Stretchable n Flexible hand band. Which material would be suitable??

Hello!

If I were you I would make the print from ninjaflex and probably print it with quite thin perimeters depending on how stretchable the hand should be.

what would be the minimum thickness you would choose?

Depends highly on how flexible the finished part should be, but around 1 mm

I would want it to stretch upto 10cm from original position… In this case, would 1mm thickness do?

In order to get flexible 3D printed products, you could choose a material known as Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It is a kind of thermoplastic elastomer that is known for its stretch ability and flexibility.
