Printing advice for flexible/Monocure resins, mainly FLEX 100?

Hi,

I decided to have a go at testing Monocure resins, mainly since they have the CMYK kit etc and their flex looks like it could be really cool.

 

However when trying to print their RAPID FLEX 100 (clear) it tears off the supports!

I am running with the default slicing and support parameters, which works nicely almost allways for the other Prusa (non-flex) resins I have.

Also, I did apply the curing settings recommended from monocure (45s for base layers and 7,5s for other layers).

I guess the typical advice is to strengthen supports? 

But how? there are many parameters for the support, should I enlarge the support head? the head penetration? 

It seems the tear is at the tip so that would be the best guess... but would be good to get some advice what to try and in which order? 

Also any general advice for flexible resins? 

After all it is expected to be a bit more tricky since it is bound to even flex when platform tilts every layer...
