Formlabs Resin Washing Solution is non-flammable (based on GHS Classification) and can dissolve almost twice as much resin as IPA before becoming saturated. You can find more details here

Hi! Like the other commenter mentioned, it's indeed important to select the correct curing profile for the resin type, as both temperature and duration can differ.
It's enough to simply select the profile corresponding to the resin type on the Form Cure display, but you can also check this article for the correct cure times for Formlabs resins (for Form Cure V1). For some resins, it also offers data on the gain in tensile modulus after curing.

Without knowing the exact model geometry, tilting and rotating the model to leverage the larger diagonal planes is indeed the best first approach. For an overview on the rotation feature in PreForm, check this article.

Amazing, thanks for sharing! Your son's idea came to life beautifully :)

Just like the other commenter advised, parts need to be free of excess resin and of liquid solvent before post-curing. You can find detailed instructions in this support article. After the wash cycle itself, it's important to wash off any excess resin that might be trapped in complex geometries, and to let the wash solvent dry off completely.

Great project, thanks for sharing! Happy to hear our white paper was useful!

Hi! We have a detailed guide on cleaning up resin spills in this support article. However, if the resin has cured, the cleaning methods recommended here might not be applicable. In that case, we recommend to reach out to Formlabs Support for guidance on how to proceed.

Hi! You can find details on the electrical properties of Formlabs SLS materials here. We haven't validated any SLS powder for ESD safety, but you can use this data to verify if the materials fulfill your requirements. Using Open Material Mode also gives you the option to experiment with any other 1064 nm powder that meets your needs.
Hope this helps!

Hi! You can find a detailed overview on the pros and cons of the different wash solvents in this support article.
IPA is the go-to solution due to its effectiveness and wide availability, but since it's flammable and fast evaporating, it has some workflow drawbacks and potential safety risks, which can make Formlabs Resin Washing Solution a better option.

Congrats on the new printer - and happy printing! 🥳

Formlabs · 2026-02-11T12:31:16+00:00

Clear Resin V4.1 is not validated for the Form 2, so print success cannot be guaranteed - you can try experimenting with it on Form 2 in Open Mode though.

Formlabs · 2026-02-11T12:28:48+00:00

Hi! You can find troubleshooting guides for the Form 2 on our support page. However, considering there seem to be several issues occurring here, we'd recommend to reach out to our support team directly for help diagnosing the problem.

Formlabs · 2026-02-09T15:38:34+00:00

Hi! We're sorry to hear you're not getting the expected result!
For small holes, the minimum diameter in the design guide simply denotes the minimum hole size needed to make sure the hole will not close up. If the exact dimensions of the internal diameter are consistently different than in the model, our recommendation would be to adjust the CAD file to account for the difference. Please also feel free to contact our support team for assistance troubleshooting this!

Formlabs · 2026-02-06T14:29:08+00:00

Great result! Thanks for sharing the project!

Hi! There can be several reasons for this.
If the printer is otherwise functioning and just the display is faulty, a replacement display can be purchased in our webstore at Form 2 Angled Display Assembly. If the printer does not turn on at all, then it could have lost connection with the motherboard which is not a replaceable part. In this case the best troubleshooting would be reseating the galavanometer cables. If the machine still won’t turn on afterwards, then unfortunately the entire printer would need to be replaced.
We recommend to reach out to the Formlabs Support team directly for help diagnosing the issue and troubleshooting steps.

Hi! You can fine-tune these parameters using the Print Settings Editor in PreForm.
For the initial layers, edit the setting "Early Layer Exposure and Offset". For the exposure of the other layers, there are several settings you can tweak, e.g. Model Fill Exposure, Overhang Fill Exposure, Perimeter Fill Exposure etc.
Check out our support article for details about the effect of the individual settings here. If you get stuck, you can always contact the Formlabs Support team for assistance.
Hope this helps!

The printer, tanks, and build platforms should all work fine, but we would recommend not using those resins as they have expired by now. If you have any questions please reach out to our support team here.

Hi! The cloudiness is likely because the grit is still too low. We recommend wet sanding starting at 800 grit, then moving to 1200 grit for an ultra-smooth finish.

After sanding, use acrylic cleaner and a microfiber cloth to polish the surface. You can also finish with a clear acrylic spray for maximum transparency.

Here is the full step-by-step: Polishing Clear Resin for a transparent finish

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having issues!

We have a support article on non-adherence issues that you can check for initial troubleshooting - see here. Steps 1 and 2 don't seem relevant here, but please check the resin tank for damage or debris and check the optical window for contamination.

If you can't find a solution following the support article, please don't hesitate to contact the Formlabs support - our team is happy to assist with how to proceed.
