The sweet spot for the Form 1+ and the black resin is super detailed, intricate components. Your first printĪs with any machine, your first print is always an exciting time.
Once the resin has settled, you’re about ready to get working. The tray is marked with levels so you don’t overfill it - again, avoiding any risk of spillage. Firstly, it means you can pour in the resin and place it in the machine without spillage, it also means you can store unused resin without fear of it curing from exposure to ambient light (it’ll keep for a couple of weeks).
Handily and unlike the previous generation, it comes with a lid. This is an orange acrylic removable unit and it’s suggested that you do this away from the machine, to avoid any spillages into the open internals.

It’s then a case of loading the software (it runs on both Windows and Mac) and filling the resin tray. Unlike many systems, you don’t need to have the machine connected to a PC once the data is loaded, so the space requirements are smaller than many such machines. In terms of connectivity, it has the ever present power brick and a USB cable to connect it to your workstation/laptop. It’s also key that the workbench or desk is level. Once the machine is out of the box, all the packing removed, you’ll need to find a location that has enough room around the unit and at the rear so that the upper part of the case can be tilted back to fill the resin tank, put in the build platform and get things running.
