Grey 160μm on Form 3L

Support & Troubleshooting Form 3L
1

The Form 2 and Form 3 support 160μm layer height when using Grey resin (see https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Choosing-the-Right-Material).

Given how it speeds up printing that feature would be particularly useful on the 3L! But I don’t see it on the chart at https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Which-Formlabs-resins-print-with-the-Form-3L

Can someone from Formlabs please comment on whether you plan to support 160μm Grey layer height on the 3L / 3BL?

Giving this a bump. It’s been ages now, I don’t understand why this resin profile isn’t being made available on the 3L. I see websites marketing the 3L as featuring a 160um layer height, but I can’t identify any resin that supports it on that printer.

Hi @rkagerer,

Thank you for bringing this up - I’m sorry your post was not addressed initially. The print settings for each layer height and resin type need to be fine tuned individually per printer model, which provides some context for why this layer thickness would be available on the Form 2 and Form 3, but not the Form 3L. I’ve gone ahead and passed this feedback along to the team to get more eyes on this request.

Hi @Jesse_K,

Thanks for responding earlier this year! Just checking in to see if there’s been any movement on this feature and give it another bump - 160um sure would be useful on the 3L given the larger print sizes.

Thanks!

Hi @rkagerer,

I do not have any updates on this, but I will submit further product feedback to emphasize the demand for this feature. I appreciate your patience given that this has been a long-standing request.
