Description

The 4th and 5th iteration of Formlab's SLA printers. Released for use by artists, designers, and professional 3D printers. The Form 3 offers a larger print area than the Form 2 and an improved optics engine.

Members may have a part run at the cost of the resin without needing to be authorized.

You can send an STL file for automatic supports to books via slack or email - automatic settings are used to produce your part. Someone will be in contact with you to confirm material and collect payment.

You can also prepare files yourself using the Formlabs Preform software. There is a Discourse thread discussing how to do so in great detail: https://discourse.pumpingstationone.org/t/how-to-succeed-using-preform-for-the-form-3-sla-3d-printer/1210
