I tried ABS in my ender and it ended in failure. Checking U tube it seems that making a enclosure with good enviromental temperature control might do the trick, maybe.

In the category of useful info: Printing Flexible/ squishy stuff.
I did have success with TPU. I made a carb boot that allowed me to adapt a 38m Lectron carb to a Boyesen Rad valve intake on a big bore CR 125 project.

I used SainSmart TPU

It was one of the higher durometer TPUs and I had no issue feeding.

My 5 min of research found that the really squishy stuff needs a direct drive head.
