I have received an email about it but cannot find any firmware update (and hot to page)

The Wash/Cure updater is bundled with the PreForm release. So just install the latest version of PreForm and follow the [instructions here](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Updating-Form-Wash-and-Form-Cure-Firmware?language=en_US).

Which email did you receive?  
It is confusing to me as well: [Formlabs page](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Firmware-Release-Notes?language=en_US) does not have a Cure/Wash section listing the releases (why?), which are also not shown [in the instructions above](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Updating-Form-Wash-and-Form-Cure-Firmware?language=en_US).  
Also, what does it mean that every PreForm update file (macOS .dmg at least) comes with a FormWashCureUpdater executable? Should we be running it as well every time there’s a PreForm update?

It’s on the [PreForm release notes page](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/PreForm-Release-Notes?language=en_US), because the updater is bundled with PreForm. I think the most recent Wash/Cure update is in the PreForm 3.6.0 section. But any version of PreForm after that will have the same Wash/Cure updater.

Thank you. I found it.

It is indeed a firmware release note inside a Software release notes page, while there **is** a dedicated Firmware release notes page…  
Rearranging the info might make more sense to most people…  
But that’s me 😁

Yeah, it is weird. The issue is that the Wash/Cure don’t have enough smarts to use the firmware update mechanism that the printers use. They need PreForm’s help.

Hi @mgarrity I noticed the backslashes are missing in the Windows paths in that article, eg:

```
C:Program Files (x86)FormlabsPreForm
C:Users[user]AppDataLocalFormlabsFormlabsFirmwareUpdaterLogs
```

Thanks for catching the issue on that page. The documentation folks just pushed out a fix.
