- Enhanced Flexibility: Impart flexibility to your prints, allowing them to bend and absorb impacts without breaking.
- Increased Durability: Improve your models’ toughness to make them more durable and drop-resistant.
- Customisable: Tailor the mix to suit your specific project requirements, ensuring the right balance of flexibility and strength.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for a range of 3D printing projects that require flexibility and durability, from functional prototypes to final products.
- Seamless Integration: Works seamlessly with our existing range of resins and additives, delivering consistent, reliable results.
- Mixing Ratio: Add the Flex Concentrate to any Monocure3D Resin at the recommended 20:80 ratio. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution. (For example, mix 20 grams of Flex Additive with 80 grams of Monocure3D Hard Resin. To make 1000 grams, mix 200 grams of Flex Additive with 800 grams of Hard Resin.) Adjust the ratio as needed to achieve the desired level of flexibility.
- Printing: Use the mixed resin in your DLP or MSLA 3D printer as usual. Adjust print settings as needed to accommodate changes in resin viscosity.
- Colour: Mixing a clear product into a pigmented product may slightly alter the final colour of the printed parts.
- Post-Processing: Follow standard post-processing procedures for Tensile Resin prints. Once the model is cured and cleaned, the enhanced flexibility and impact resistance will be evident.
- Appearance: Transparent liquid (Cloudy)
- Compatibility: Monocure3D Pro+, Tensile & Rapid Resin (All Colours – NB: adding the rubber additive may slightly change the resin colour as it removes some pigment).
- Shelf Life: 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

CustomMix™ - 3D Printing Resin your way!
CustomMix is the world’s first system designed to customise 3D printing resins with concentrated additives, offering you versatility and customisation. This innovative solution enables you to adjust your resin’s properties to suit any project perfectly. Whether you need a matte finish, a particular colour, semi-translucency, enhanced flexibility, or impact resistance, CustomMix allows you to create a resin tailored to your requirements.
What sets CustomMix apart from traditional methods, such as adding CMYK pigments, is its inclusion of Monocure3D’s latest urethane base resin, photoinitiators and special additives. The key components used in all our high-performance resins. This ensures that when you add CustomMix additives, you’re not altering the essential properties of the original resin and compatibility with printer settings, giving you consistent results every time without the need for recalibration.
With CustomMix, you can create resins that meet your needs without compromising quality or ease of use. Look for the CustomMix Compatibility Symbol and start formulating resins to meet your specifications.

Guidelines for CustomMix
1. Shake Well
CustomMix™ additives are concentrated and must be shaken well before use to ensure uniform distribution.
2. Use Scales
Always use scales to measure CustomMix™ additives by weight, not volume, for precise and repeatable formulas.
3. Test First
Always start with a small test mix in a clear cup to ensure the desired results. Once satisfied, scale up the formula for larger batches confidently.
4. Record Formula
Record your CustomMix™ additive amounts and resin combinations to ensure repeatable results for future projects.
