Form Cure & Wash Notifications?

Feature Requests & Ideas

The text notifications from Form 2, and also on the dashboard are great for knowing when a print is done, or for reviewing progress. But I’m surprised that the Form Cure & Wash machines don’t also provide status updates, or at least notifications on completion. My machines are remotely located, so it’s inconvenient (inefficient) to have keep to checking physically. That’s especially true with the Form Cure, because it always takes a long time to heat up, and I find myself repeatedly visiting that room to see whether the machine has started yet so I can start a timer. Same with the Form 2. It also takes a while to heat up (and fill the tank), but it only gives the status on the printer’s screen itself, not on dashboard.

Manually setting external timers is the only solution to not being notified on completions, but it’s inconvenient and seemingly unnecessary, considering that both units have USB ports. Am I missing something, or is this being worked on?

Thanks! :wink:

I’m working at an R&D department with 60 people and we’re all using the same Form Wash and Form Cure. It would be very nice if the user is prompted with a notification so that they can take out their parts and leave the machine ready to use for the next person.
I agree with Peter that keeping all users informed on the dashboard about the status of the machines would safe unnecessary waiting time and walks to go over and check.

Simple solution is a egg timer set it for your process and bring it with you or set a timer on your phone

Really love this suggestion! Form Cure L and Form Wash L are both networkable, it would be great to start taking advantage of status updates for these components. It’s cool that we can add these to the Accessory List, but would be great to be able to have more interaction with them.
