3D Printer Flexible resin Test, Monocure3D flex 100

Test of the Monocure3D Flex100, on the Anycubic Photon-S

In the video i go through different resin test and mix, to get a rough idea of what's this resin is capable of.

Exposure time of the different Rings.

-100% standard
Bottom layer 4
Exposure time 8s
Bottom exposure 50s

-66% standard
Bottom layer 4
Exposure time 10s
Bottom exposure 60s

-33% standard
Bottom layer 4
Exposure time 12s
Bottom exposure 60s

-20% standard
Bottom layer 6
Exposure time 14s
Bottom exposure 65s

-10% standard
Bottom layer 8
Exposure time 16s
Bottom exposure 75s

-0% standard (100%Flex)
Bottom layer 8
Exposure time 16s
Bottom exposure 75s

Thank you very much, you answered a bunch of questions about adding flexible resin that I had after getting my 3D resin printer running dependently. This is the kind of independent research that I really appreciate!

Thank you for making this vid. I've been considering trying this resin as an alternative for TPU/TPE FDM prints for my drone gear, but I see now this is likely not possible. I will still use this resin to improve table-top miniature durability.

Great video! Saved me a whole bunch of time figuring out the best mixes for our print job! Best video on flexible resin anywhere!!

[LEVOfficial]

wow dude this will safe my future prints from breaking. thanks brade

[andrewstambaugh]

Interesting how they all sanded. Which I supposed is also saying they have almost no abrasion resistance, but good for model processing.

Des essais comme on les aime : précis, rigoureux et graduels. cerise sur le gâteau, les settings de chaque essai. merci beaucoup c'est du super boulot !!

Great video thank you! I will be experimenting with a 60/40 mix. Making 1/6 scale figures and this would be great for custom hand parts that need to attach to pegs. They should be able to pop on and off easily without having to use putty or worry about breaking.

Thanks a lot on the effort for making this video. Very helpful!

[alext]

great video, thanks for your efforts showing different resin mixes

[theBoonarmies]

very helpful, informative and insightful video.
Thank you for making it friend.

What printing parameters did you use since the two resins have different exposure times?

[Cedle]

For those trying if you want a better 100% print try far longer exposure times through the whole print around 40 seconds have worked fine with different brands. So you might wanne try that if your going to print flexible.

Interesting video and very informative. I wouldn't say 100% flex is a failure. It all depends on what you're making and it's intended usage. Just off the top of my head, I can see using it to make cosplay masks and things, live hinges, flexible mounts, seals, gaskets, and small tires for RC use. I would definitely get some to try out and see what kind of environments and solvents it can handle as well as it's stretch limits.

I'm wondering if it is possible to print sealed structures from flexible resin? Something like a corrugated hose?

[ygkremer]

Thank you for this vid. Very helpfull! I know what to do/order now.

Hello, recently ESUN made a flexible resin. have you tried it? what do you think? I find it very sticky and difficult to detach it from the board. good night.

[thegodemperorhiram]

thank you I just order some flex resin, this shall be very helpful

[delcampojunior]

Los parametros cambian para photon mono? En concreto creo que 80% flexible y 20% dura. Gracias

@ZyMethEuY
I need a resin that's as flexible as possible. Like cloth material.
The 90% and 100% flex should do the job but they'll break as soon as i try to put the garment on an action figure.
Which one would be the most appropriate in your opinion ?
And last question, did you try to paint these flexible prints ? If so, how did it go ?
Amazing video by the way.

What layer is best for flexible resin?
