4L Settings for materials without one

.fps File (Print Settings) Community Library

I wanted to share a couple of settings that we’ve created to print resins that don’t have official settings on 4L, particularly for Alumina 4N, Silicone 40A, and True Cast.

There are a bunch of different reasons that we don’t have actual shipping settings available for these, but we are able to create a ‘best guess’ setting for these so that you can go ahead and print with the materials, just be careful - since it hasn’t been tuned by our SetOps team and passed validation, we have no idea how often things will fail and how accurately parts will come out. This also means that our services team may not be able to help with the setting.

That said, you actually won’t need OMM to use these! You can just import the setting into PreForm, and it will show up as selectable in the normal selection page.

Good luck and happy printing!

Hi SeanB,
I was wondering if you have made any modifications on these settings since youve published them about 3 months ago.

We do not, since it isn’t an active area of work. I do know for Silicone some people have found that they need to use a higher exposure for the first layer (~700), as well as going into custom peel and decreasing it by about 50%, but I haven’t tested it myself and so don’t have any exact changes to it.

Sean, would you pretty please be able to post settings for a 3L/3BL for the Alumina 4N? I know there’s a good chance of failure. Pretty please with a cherry on top!!
