Form3 set-up and first print. My first impressions 2019

In this video I walk you through setting up a Form3 SLA 3d printer and printing a part. Nothing flashy, just what it takes to get set up.
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for doing this video, I have been looking at this printer, easy setup, and print job. loved your curing tank

[dungeonlair]

Just a suggestion, remove your supports before you cure, it makes removing the supports much easier. I don't have a Form 3, but I do have a DLP printer and it's what I do. Hope it helps you, take care.

I have found that if you try to remove the supports after the wash, but before the curing it is much easier to get the supports off.

What was the exact timelapse of the job and what was the height of your model in inches or in mm pls.

I see this printer uses a cartridge. Does that mean I'm restricted to only using their resin in this printer?

[josephdang]

Just a quick question, when the Form 3 is done printing does the Resin in the resin tank go back up the cartridge or it stays there for you to clean it up??

[SkyCandyVisuals]

I wonder if you would of broken of the object from the holders before cleaning and curing it would it have been easier to snap off???

Interesting. I’ve been eyeballing this printer for some time. I have a anycubic resin printer and it creates decent prints but I’m sure not as good as the form 3

[jgarces]

Do you have to have a curing period for the clear resin prints, or any and all prints for that matter?

[Foxxxxx]

good quality print, do you have a idea regarding the lifespan of the printed parts? i read somewhere its about 3 months which is making me hesitant about going into sla printing

Hi. Would you upgrade to a model above this one you have? Why the alcohol and blue light? Thanks for your time.

[aditube]

Hi I'm trying to find a real-time video showing 2-3 full layers to get an idea of layer time for cure and delamination/layer change, could you film a little one next time your using the form 3 please

[BlertonG]

I would like to know after you finish printing what do you do with the tank that has still resin left, should i clean it or just pour the resin back in cartridge and what else is left in tank to leave it like that. @thoughtbombdesign

[mattmueller]

Odd question, but what's the method you use to notify when a new device has joined your WiFi network?

[lightningqdesigns]

Ellowah,
I'm curious since you've had the Form 3 for a month now what your toughts are.
Since there are not a lot of practical reviews atm, beyond unboxing it -_- and you seem the right person to ask xD

This will be my first time buying a 3d printer and I could really use some guidance! Is it possible that I could just buy a uv light from amazon to cure or maybe just sit the project in the sun?
Also, how do I gain access to the computer program? Is it complimentary with purchase?

[crstudios]

Do you need to purchase a resin tank for each different type of resin you are using? For example if I want to experiment with 5 different resins, will I need to purchase 5 resin tanks? Thanks!

Hi, I am a Ph.D. student in Japan, and 3D printer plays an important role in my research. But I am totally new at this and the 3D printer that we have in the lab is totally in Japanese. So it is already very difficult to understand the 3D printer for me. Currently, the ID chip on the resin tank got broken. I have to put the resin manually. That becomes really difficult as we cannot control the temperature. Is there any way to fix the ID chip in low cost? If possible please give me some advice. It will be very helpful.

[DarthAvocado]

wow, how did you make your curing chamber!? Does it have a UV light in it too?

[swaycooler]

I was looking into getting one of these but was told they would have problems with denigration of the laser, calibration, resin tray usage within a few months... that’s why you need to buy protection....plus very slow. so. So I was talking to nextdent 5100 and they say because they have a comercial printer you would notice a difference in printer ....they call formlab printers toys. With nextdent thee is no maintenance agreement say the projector is good for 10 years....I wish i knew...they were saying that most that buy there’s have had formlab and were that may have been with formlab 2 ....but not so sure with the formlab 3 . Have you had formlab printer before this one that you could tell me about?
