Hi @Mario_Martinez, I hear your frustration on the SLS packaging. While that’s handled by our Materials team and not Software, and I can tell you the [Materials team is working on it](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/powder-bag-demonstration/44789/79). Regarding software: the Insider Program isn’t meant to replace our internal QA or shift the “cost of testing” to you. We still run rigorous internal cycles to ensure we aren’t jeopardizing any hardware (printer, accessory, or otherwise). Any print settings we include have been tested in-house on our own machines first. The reality is that many of our power users have been asking for a way to test new workflows (like multiple build volumes) months before they are “production ready”. This program is an optional path for those who want to help us refine those features early 🎉 If you need a 100% stable, Formlabs-supported experience for your work, we definitely encourage you to stick with the [standard release](https://formlabs.com/software/preform/). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/announcing-the-preform-insider-program/46236)._
