#FORMLABS PREFORM PRO#
We’re excited to announce that you can now print with all of our Engineering Resins on the Form 3 and Form 3B, with the new Form 3 Resin Tank V2 and our latest software.įorm 3 Resin Tank V2 has replaced the existing Form 3 Resin Tank (V1) and enables printing with Rigid, Elastic, and Grey Pro Resins, which are incompatible with Tank V1. Any help from you wonderful people would be very much appreciated. I have put all my savings into this printer and was running a pretty good little business with it, but this issue has me blocked completely with deadlines approaching. Perhaps there is a more advanced problem that someone here will be able to help me identify. I have not switched back to clear which was printing these models fine (except the bird feet, which are new) in the interest of saving material that I’m low on. It could be a coincidence that this started when I began using Standard White resin. inspecting the printer interior, tray, and build plate, arm for damage to the best of my ability.Taking areas of the model that printed successfully and using symmetrical mirroring to use it to replace the area of the model that has issues.Checking mesh integrity using the slicer slider and various 3D programs (no obvious issues found).(In both cases, the next print actually ended up with more missing.) Adding more, stronger supports to the missing areas.Please see examples here: /a/GXxmuR8Īfter some decent research here is what I have tried: However, when the prints finish I find that they appear to have large chunks missing, as if the printer decided to print the first part of the model normally, then for about 5 to 10% it just prints the supports, but skips the model, then resumes printing the model and finishes as expected. I see no issues so I reboot the printer and start the print again hoping to catch the noise on video, but this time it proceeds printing without noises.
#FORMLABS PREFORM FULL#
I abort the print, take out the build platform, resin cartrage, and tray and do as full as an inspection as I can without being invasive. This time all goes well until the printer gets to the “Preparing Tray” phase when it starts making a SOUL CRUSHING GRINDING sound. Ok no problem, I just reboot the printer and try again. The printer experienced error 147 where it loses connection to the server. When I first installed my white resin with a brand new tray I started printing a model that has been proven in other materials. The best way to describe it is “strange noises and skipped slices”. However, after having tons of success printing with standard grey, draft, and clear resin, I’ve run into a mysterious issue that started when I started printing with Standard White. Nothing I couldn’t handle, and I feel like I have a pretty good basic knowledge of printing with my Form 3.
After printing pretty much non-stop with my brand new Form 3 since late December, I’ve had a small handful of failed prints that were easy to diagnose ( not enough surface area to grip to the build plate, lack of supports causing shifting, vent holes not large enough to prevent cupping, and error 147 ).
