Hello

I’ve not used my printer in years and have just taken it out of storage and have become aware that there are issues with sourcing resin tanks for the 1+. I see many posts on the subject but can’t seem to see any solutions that show a simple buy & use option.

Has anyone found a reliable tank that I can just put in my machine and use? I’m particularly interested in any options that are in the UK/Europe. Using Google there doesn’t seem to be much although I wonder if anyone has experience of this

> Dear people, I have the oportunity to set back to life an older Form 1+ grinning This machine had been left over a shelf during few years at around 15-20°C, and is in pretty mint condition. It was working well in the past and gave pretty good results. So, we can expect the hardware to still be fine. I know this is a pretty old machine mantelpiece_clock, but it was well designed and i hate to waste things that are still usable wink The machine came with 2 buildplates with clean surfac…
