I bought a used printer and in several prints, I got not good print quality. After checking all mirrors I understand that it is a laser. [laser1] Contacting with support in my country gives not good result because its only 2 ways, changing to Form 3 or refurbished Form2. And this cost too much for me.

@sysrover Did you find out how to get this laser?

I’ve been hoping for an update to this for a while also. I wonder if sysrover received a cease and desist, or something similar, preventing him from continuing or offering more information.

[image] Form 2 Aftermarket Laser Replacement FOUND! Form 2 I had my Original Form 2 Laser go bad, and now that my machine is out of warranty the only option to replace a $60 laser diode was to shell out over $1000 to swap my machine out with a refurbished printer or trade it in for 500 to a new form 3. Obviously this was so maddening I resorted to tearing down the whole machine to try to fix it. Ended up cleaning every single optical surface countless times, with progressing levels of clean-room cleanliness. Defeated to know that laser was actually bad,…
