The Form 2 is going to make SLA 3D printing mainstream.
Looks cool, I like the added resin cartridge so no more messy filling. Will be interesting to see the difference the ‘sweeper’ makes on residual cured resin. Same price range too. I’m a fan.
Larger build volume and less messy - the Formlabs team have been listening to their customers. Additionally smart to incentivize upgrades to their existing community of users. Congratulations on some nice work!
Actualy,
I am a bit fustrated, cause I bought the Form1+ two months ago.
There was not even a rumor, they where working on a new model.
Besides that, it looks great!
- The connectivity is a huge asset.
- The new peeling system looks great,
- A bit of a downside , the fact the new Form2 will use cardridges, makes it probably impossible to use third party resin.
I am wondering what the 35 degrees has to do with the quality.
Does it make a huge difference? Maybe its possible the create something for the older models to raise the themerature a bit.
In the past the support of formlabs is really great. I hope they will be able to contintue that !
They are currently offering all Form 1/1+ printer owners special loyalty pricing. Feel free to fill out this form to see if you qualify: http://formlabs.com/loyalty/ 2
Indeed, that’s a big surprise.
Wait until you see the new Finishing Kit and the 1-clic print…

I contacted formlabs, and they offer a discount of 400 euro for every form1 and Form1+ owner. Kickstarter backers get a discount of 600 euro. thanks for the link

FormLabs team did an excellent choice leaving to refill cartridges with other RESIN compatible.
