Form 4 resin on form 3 & 3L

I just wanted to share my success printing v5 clear on the form 3 and form 3L.

Long story short, with some minor settings tweaks to the existing v4 resin setting, I can print v5 nicely.

This really does lead me to question why I cant buy the cheaper v5 resin for my form 3.

How does it compare in clarity?

I’m looking at doing this too. The form 4 is just too pricey right now. Can you please share what tweaks you made in the settings?

Also, what’s your strategy for getting the printer to not lock you out from printing with the incompatible cartridge? Thanks!

My guess is manual pouring or maybe they already have the Open Material License

Most of the times, you can just pour the resin with the stock settings using the stock cartridge and it might work.
I recently got greyv4.1 and it works with the v4 profile.

So this information is amazing because it confirms FL is just trying to lock down users, and pushing by discontinuance of materials users to buy new machines. Yes F4 is faster, but materials are cheaper, looks like punishing users for not buying new machines.
