Nothing against the new Formlabs resins, but I kind of miss the old flexible clear one. It was a beautiful way to simulate soft silicon (like the [buttons seen here](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/clear-resin-mold-injected-with-liquid-silicone-rubber/15532)).

I broke out a _really old_ bottle of version 1 flex resin today to print a quick little gasket. It made me nostalgic.

Here’s another [much more beautiful part](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/making-ergonomic-handles-with-flexible-clear-resin/3187) showcasing the stuff.

Anyone else miss it?
