About the .fps (Print Settings) File Community Library category

A community-curated collection of custom .fps (Formlabs Print Settings) files for use with Formlabs printers.

Use this category to upload, browse, and discuss .fps files. Custom print settings created using Print Settings Editor (PSE). This is the place to share your tuning experiments, discover useful settings for tricky parts or unique resins, and learn from the community’s successes and failures.

Why should people use this category? What is it for?

Print Settings Editor enables deep control over print parameters, which can significantly improve print success, quality, or performance for specific geometries or third-party resins. This category allows users to:

  • Share and download .fps files
  • Tag posts by material, printer, and application
  • Provide context on what the settings are optimized for
  • Ask for feedback or troubleshooting advice
  • Upvote settings that worked well for them

How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?

Unlike the .form File Community Library, which focuses on models and pre-supported part setups, this category is strictly for print settings, the parameters that influence how a printer builds a model layer by layer. Settings shared here might include changes to squish wait times, exposure compensation, cooling behavior, mixer speeds, and more.

What should topics in this category generally contain?

Each topic should include:

  • A descriptive title indicating what the .fps file is for
  • Tags for resin, printer model, and application area
  • A brief explanation of what was changed and why
  • Notes on whether the settings are experimental or validated
  • A .fps file upload (ensure file uploads are enabled for this format)

Optionally, include print photos, failure/success notes, and comparisons with default settings.
