**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)](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Using-the-Print-Settings-Editor?language=en_US). 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](https://forum.formlabs.com/c/community-form-file-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. [For **dental users** , please see 3rd party dental resins for Open Material Mode and PSE](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Third-party-dental-resins-with-available-OMM-print-settings?language=en_US).

### **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.

### **Feedback**

If you have questions, suggestions, or feedback on how this category can be improved, please reply to **this pinned thread** so we can continue to make it more useful for everyone.
