If someone wants to go even older because they have a need for 32-bit edition, PreForm 2.16.0 was the final 32-bit release and available on that same page.

PreForm 2.20 is also available for download from the page listing PreForm versions and their equipment compatibility. That was the final release before PreForm dropped support for this old printer. I dug through FormLabs support to find this page Using PreForm with the Form 1+ which provides a link to download PreForm 2.20.

With the hardware in hand, I moved on to the software side of things.Īll FormLabs equipment require their PreForm software to run, and the current version (3.25.2 as of writing) no longer supports the Form 1+. Working with FormLabs equipment isn’t cheap, and this “free as-is” printer required nearly $300 of stuff just so I could see if it even runs. It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.I had been given a FormLabs Form 1+ resin printer that’s been sitting unused for years and requested to get it back up and running.

Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements: We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, ’s PC). Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. The build stack has also been completely redesigned. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers. Wow, thanks for the detailed response, i hadnt considered custom supports but this may be the way forward! im not great with 3D but i reckon some columns added in blender may do the trick. So you might want to design supports in such a way that they move the nozzle away for some time, and allow the model to cool (or print multiple models at once). Layer-adhesion and stress-concentrations could also be a factor. Printing tiny vertical models often causes this effect: the filament can not solidify due to the hot nozzle continuously sitting on top of it. The tabs on the side of the supports do almost no damage to the side walls of the model. This model could be printed without supports, but I want more accuracy, since another part has to slide accurately through the opening.

The ribs on top are 0.5mm wide and high the inverted stairs at the bottom are 1mm wide and high. This makes them very easy to remove (way easier than standard supports). If too small, the model will glue to the support, and separation will be difficult.įree hanging supports, not going down all the way to the bottom, and thus not damaging the lower parts.įront view of these free hanging supports: they stay in place by the stringing of the material. These require good testing: if the gap is too big, the model will fall off. This model is way too small to get in there with a knife.Ĭoncepts of supports, to minimise damage to the model. These are stable and solid supports, so I can grab them with a plier and wiggle them out. Pink and orange supports with custom brim to prevent them from getting knocked over. But special cases might be better off with custom designs. Standard supports are good for standard situations. Test various concepts and dimensions on a small testmodel, before doing large models. If you have a single-nozzle printer, and you can do CAD, then consider designing your own supports in CAD.
