Something thats slightly flexible might work, you'd have to test it. depends on a lot of factors like infill etc. If you want real flexibility you could print rubber, but that wouldn't work for a keycap puller ofcourse
hey :) as @joppedc
mentioned, PLA might break easily. I would try PETG, it has some flexibility depending on thickness and infill, but it's still strong enough to use for something like that.
Damn, what shall I use to get something slightly flexible? like for instance the legs of this keycap puller (sorry first example that came to mind)

Cheers, I'll try that out :)

Nice! thanks!
Is there some reference online that would give some flexibility/strongness measurement of these 3D printing materials based on the thickness/infill?
I don't know about such a reference, but something like this might help get a better comparison between materials:

that's a pretty good start! Thanks a bunch!
