It is more flexible than regular pla. Maybe you could trial with TPU, it's flexible and has many hardness. Meanwhile, we also could provide this type of flexible pla filament.

If you use the correct settings and storage that is what you get. If you are getting brittle PLA chances are it has moisture in it. It soaks up moisture in the air and is not advised for humid climates. It must be stored in an airtight moisture proof container when not in use. This is why it is shipped in vacuum sealed bags. ABS and PETG are not as sensitive to moisture. From my experience I have found PLA to be only slightly less flexible than ABS. My issue with PLA is that it is biodegradable and cannot be used outdoors. That is why I use PETG which is nearly as strong as Poly carbonate but still slightly flexible.

i have a raise n2 plus 3d printer.i have just printed flex 45 and tryed to print nijaflex. i wasn t able to print ninja i don t why. but tpu and similar are rubber and i need a rigid but tougher and less brittle of pla but not expensive like petg or polymax pla

You need to look at price versus quantity. With your Polymax you get 450 grams for $45 bucks. With PETG+ you get 1000 grams for $35 or less. PETG+ should meet your needs. The issue is that your need is very specific and there are only so many materials that meet all your needs.

This is what i mean. https://youtu.be/1Q_uXb18RLA this is a pla filament but i didn t find it

It seems to match the description of what you are using. It is a bit more tricky to use than PLA as you need to have your first layer just right as in not squished but very near your planned layer height. It is not a brittle as normal PLA.
