Is this for real?
Does Formlabs actually produce resin for non-formlabs printers? Amazon has been doing a lot of scammy, copycat sort of things of late, so I have to ask.

Thanks, that’s really fascinating.
If tariffs remain high, domestic sourcing for 3D printers (and consumables) will become essential. We may see Formlabs getting a bigger market share of resin as a result.

I know people who use Formlabs V4/V5 resins in their Amazon Specials (Phrozen, Eligoo, etc.). Apparently possible, just requires some trial and error.
Hi everyone, Jessie from Formlabs here. Yep, the Creator Series is real, although it is a relatively new product line for us, launched just last November!
The Creator Series is specifically formulated for use with non-Formlabs resin printers and was designed for the at-home user with less intensive material requirements, as compared to standard Formlabs resins. You can find more info at creator.formlabs.com.
As @SteamFactoryLLC mentioned, you can also use some Formlabs resins on non-Formlabs printers. We have more info about that here. One caveat to this is that the results definitely vary with printer type, and not all Formlabs resins will work perfectly. Filled resins like Rigid 10K and softer resins like Elastic 50A will be difficult to print on systems without wipers and/or heaters.
We have a feedback form here if there are specific Formlabs resins you’d like to see settings for!
