HeyGears PAF10 Flexible Resin PVC-Like Toughness, Zero Layer Lines
The flexible production resin that bends instead of snapping — 46% elongation, invisible layer lines, tuned for every HeyGears Reflex printer.
PAF10 is HeyGears’ PVC-like flexible resin: 46% elongation at break versus 5–10% for standard modeling resins, so parts flex and survive real-world handling instead of shattering. Print it in matte Volcanic Gray for display-quality miniatures, or Clear for 82% light transmittance with the ClearG115 gloss coat. Full specifications →

PVC-like, not brittle — resin parts that take a hit and keep their detail.
Most fast resins force a trade: crisp detail or durability, never both. PAF10 is HeyGears’ PVC-like production resin, engineered to hold fine features while flexing under load instead of cracking. It prints smooth surfaces with invisible layer lines and survives drops, press-fits, and repeated handling — the everyday failures that turn a beautiful print into a broken one. It’s built for people who print things that get used, not just displayed.
Sharp features, tough parts — off the same build plate.
A PVC-like chemistry keeps 0.08 mm detail while giving parts the toughness to be handled, posed, and shipped.
PAF10 resolves down to a 0.08 mm smallest feature, so scales, edges, and fine textures come through crisp. But unlike standard modeling resin — which shatters at 5–10% elongation — PAF10 stretches to 46% before it breaks and shrugs off impact at 52 J/m. The result is a print that looks like a display piece and behaves like a functional part.
46% elongation at break — bend it, don’t break it.
Brittleness is the quiet tax on resin printing: the part looks perfect, then a thin edge shears off during clean-up, a support scar cracks under nippers, or a mini loses a weapon on the first drop. PAF10 was formulated specifically to remove that tax. Where a standard modeling resin snaps at roughly 5–10% elongation, PAF10 Volcanic Gray stretches to 46% before failure — and Clear still reaches 34% — so parts deflect and spring back instead of fracturing. Pair that with a 52 J/m notched-impact rating and you get prints that survive de-supporting, transport, and everyday use without the constant re-print cycle.
Thin swords, wings, and antennae that survive the table.
The details that snap first on brittle resin — spears, capes, fingers — flex and recover on PAF10.
PAF10 reaches 46% elongation at break in Volcanic Gray (34% in Clear), roughly five to nine times the flex of a standard modeling resin. Notched impact strength of 52 J/m and a 75 Shore D hardness mean parts absorb a drop or a squeeze instead of fracturing. For tabletop minis, cosplay props, and functional prototypes that get handled, that’s the difference between a repair and a re-print.
Low water uptake and proven damp-heat aging resistance.
Still flexible after the heat-and-humidity test that embrittles ordinary resin.
HeyGears aged PAF10 to IEC 60068-2-78 — 85% relative humidity at 30 °C — and measured how much flex it kept.
Standard resins go brittle as they age and absorb moisture. In HeyGears’ damp-heat test, PAF10 Volcanic Gray lost only about 17% of its elongation over four days, while a comparison resin dropped roughly 32%. A low 1–1.6% water sorption keeps parts dimensionally stable, so a model still performs months after it comes off the plate — not just on day one.
Matte Volcanic Gray or 82%-clear Clear — same profiles, no re-tuning.
PAF10 ships in two colors that run on the exact same pre-tuned Blueprint Studio profiles, so you can switch between them mid-project with zero re-calibration. Volcanic Gray gives a smooth matte finish for display-ready miniatures; Clear starts with a subtle bluish transparency and becomes crystal-clear when finished with the ClearG115 gloss coat.
82% light transmittance for lenses, light pipes, and see-through parts.
Finish a Clear print with ClearG115 and it goes from bluish translucency to true optical clarity.
PAF10 Clear is built for transparent applications — light guides, tinted lenses, fluidic channels, and display models. On its own it prints with a subtle blue cast; brushed and baked with the 250 g ClearG115 gloss coat, it reaches 82% light transmittance. Keep drying and coat-baking at or below 40 °C to protect the finish. Volcanic Gray needs no coat at all — it’s matte and display-ready straight off the plate.
Pre-tuned for every HeyGears Reflex printer — zero setup.
PAF10 arrives with Blueprint Studio profiles already dialed in for the entire Reflex line, so there’s nothing to tune. Load the resin, pick the profile, and print — on the standard resin tank, with no Pulsing Release Module required.
Pre-tuned profiles for the original Reflex and Reflex Turbo — standard tank, no extra hardware.
Full profile support across the RS and RS Turbo for higher-throughput production printing.
Runs on the latest Reflex 2 and Reflex 2 Pro with the same PAF10 profiles — no re-tuning.
Print settings ship pre-configured in Blueprint Studio — load the resin, pick the profile, print.
No Pulsing Release Module needed — PAF10 prints on the standard tank that ships with every Reflex.
Volcanic Gray and Clear run identical settings — switch colors mid-project with zero re-calibration.
Invisible layer lines — no sanding for display-quality results.
Surface quality is where PAF10 earns its keep for painters and prop-makers. HeyGears’ Reflex printers already lay down fine layers, and PAF10’s chemistry is tuned to blend them: Volcanic Gray comes off the plate with a matte, even surface where layer lines effectively disappear at normal viewing distance. That means less time sanding and priming, and more consistent paint adhesion — a matte tooth grabs primer far better than a glossy standard resin. Because the material is also drop- and flake-resistant, that finish keeps looking clean after the model has been handled, transported, and played with.
A matte surface that hides layer lines and takes paint cleanly.
Volcanic Gray comes off the plate smooth and matte — primer-ready, with no visible stepping.
PAF10 Volcanic Gray delivers a smooth matte finish with layer lines you have to hunt for, so miniatures and scale replicas are display-quality straight out of the printer — no sanding pass required. The matte surface also grabs primer and paint evenly, which is exactly what tabletop painters and prop-makers want. Better drop resilience and resistance to cracking and flaking mean the finish survives the handling that a painted mini actually gets.
From gaming minis to functional prototypes that get used.
One resin for the display shelf and the workbench.
PAF10’s flex-plus-detail combination covers work that brittle resin can’t.
Because PAF10 keeps fine detail and still bends, it spans applications that usually need two different materials: display miniatures and the functional parts that flex in use. Tabletop and cosplay makers love the tough thin features; product teams use it for enclosures, keycaps, and snap-fit prototypes that need to survive testing. The Clear variant opens a second lane entirely — light pipes, tinted lenses, fluidic channels, and see-through demonstration models — without changing printers or profiles. One resin, two colors, and a genuinely wide range of parts that all come off the same Reflex machine.
Miniatures and figurines with thin features — swords, wings, antennae — that survive real play.
Wearable props and display models that flex and take paint without cracking or flaking.
Keycaps, buttons, squeeze bottles, enclosures, and snap-fits that see repeated handling.
Light pipes, lenses, and see-through models using PAF10 Clear + ClearG115 coat for 82% clarity.
Architectural and product scale models that need crisp detail and handling durability.
Housings, brackets, and interior components where a little flex beats a brittle crack.
PAF10 vs. standard and premium flexible resins.
Approximate street prices per kilogram, for orientation. PAF10 costs a little more than bargain modeling resin but adds real flexibility, impact strength, and anti-aging performance; premium tough resins cost more and often print slower.

FAQ
HeyGears PAF10 — Common Questions
What’s the difference between PAF10 Volcanic Gray and PAF10 Clear?
Volcanic Gray is a matte, display-ready resin with 46% elongation — ideal for miniatures and functional parts. Clear is a transparent variant (34% elongation) that reaches 82% light transmittance when finished with the ClearG115 gloss coat — ideal for lenses, light pipes, and see-through models. Both run on the same pre-tuned Reflex profiles.
Is the ClearG115 gloss coat included, or is it an add-on?
The 250 g ClearG115 gloss coat is a separate add-on. Volcanic Gray needs no coat — it’s matte and finished off the plate. You only need ClearG115 if you’re printing Clear and want full optical transparency. Ask Rev1 to add it to your order.
Which printers is PAF10 compatible with?
All HeyGears Reflex printers: Reflex, Reflex Turbo, Reflex RS, Reflex RS Turbo, Reflex 2, and Reflex 2 Pro. It prints on the standard resin tank — no Pulsing Release Module required — and ships with Blueprint Studio profiles already tuned for each machine.
How does PAF10 compare to standard modeling resin for miniatures?
Standard resin is brittle — roughly 5–10% elongation — so thin swords, wings, and antennae snap. PAF10 flexes to 46% and resists impact at 52 J/m, so those same features bend and recover. You also get a matte finish with invisible layer lines, so no sanding is needed before painting.
Can PAF10 be used for functional prototypes, not just models?
Yes. Its PVC-like toughness and 75 Shore D hardness suit keycaps, buttons, squeeze bottles, enclosures, snap-fits, and other parts that flex or get handled. Low water sorption and proven damp-heat aging resistance mean parts stay stable over time.
Does PAF10 need special handling or curing?
It cures under standard 385 nm+ UV like other HeyGears resins. The one rule to remember: keep drying and gloss-coat baking at or below 40 °C, especially for Clear, to avoid heat deformation. Store bottles at 15–28 °C away from light; shelf life is 12 months unopened.
What pack sizes and colors does Rev1 stock?
PAF10 comes in Volcanic Gray and Clear, in 1 kg, 3×1 kg, and 5×1 kg bottles. Bulk multipacks lower the per-kilogram cost — tell us the color and quantity and we’ll quote it, usually within one business day.
Do I need the Pulsing Release Module (PRM) for PAF10?
No. PAF10 is formulated to print on the standard resin tank that ships with every Reflex printer — no Pulsing Release Module required. That keeps setup simple and lets you run it on any Reflex machine you already own.
Does Rev1 stock PAF10 in the US?
Yes — PAF10 ships from US stock in Auburn Hills, Michigan, so you skip overseas lead times and grey-market bottles. Add it to your cart to order, or request volume pricing for multipacks and cases.
