My flexible resin arrived, and I immediately printed several spinners. The pieces adhered to the build platen exceptionally well, making them difficult to remove, and there was some tearing, but the spokes were all intact! The spinner tops were messy due to support sprues and the uneven surface, but the hardware fit inside, so I assembled a spinner. The resin was more flexible than I anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise, but everything drooped, and it would not fit into the shell. I measured the deflection at approximately 3 millimeters.
The spinner droops approximately 3 millimeters
