Public .form Files

Hi everyone,

In an effort to gauge interest in our development of a ready-to-print model repository for Formlabs users, we would love for you to share any .form files that you think others might enjoy. This could be a passion project, a jig or stand for a consumer product, or even just a build plate packed with screws and nuts to save someone a little time. Please attach a picture of the print as well as the .form file so that people can quickly see what you made - I’ll get us started below.

These are awesome @VarietyVault ! Thanks for sharing! From a first look, my faves are the Ball of Mirrored Dodecahedra + the Parabolic Spike!
Are you printing them in Nylon 12?

Request taken re: social media files! :check_mark:


I would love to see what this paw cleaner would look like manufactured! Onshape

Thanks for sharing @nacho! Ha, so clever! So this is hooked up to a hose right? :paw_prints:

Right! The idea is you can hook it up, press the button and get your furry friends all cleaned before coming into the house!

The bill of materials is in the document so you can pick up the required O-rigns and a spring!

I just saw this and I wonder where is the file for this updated and amazing cube, the original one was designed for MJF and it doesn’t turn that great either, I’ve seen several users tried making it (including myself) with very little success for several parts because they break during cleaning they are too thin.

Hello, you can find the cube here for example: MJF torture rubik's cube by rahensilva - Thingiverse

Thanks for sharing @okrim05 !

Yes that is the design I described, but the one on the video is totally different.

It is more aligned for Fuse design guidelines.


posted this already in the Fuse forum. This is the latest and works great. Best if printed on Fuse, but may work on Form. This is print-in-place and can rotate. Fits 2" hose.

We have a brand new Form 4L and currently only have V5 Grey Resin. Can this file be printed as is or does it need extra supports as requested by Preform? I assume that it will print fine, but I do not want to mess something up. Thanks.

Also, I am in a university makerspace setting. In addition to the few files posted here, is there a repository of sample files anywhere that we can use to show to students/faculty what the capabilities of the Form 4L are?

Hi @gpingen,

Yes that part can be printed as-is. The PreForm checks are usually a little more conservative to flag potential failure points, but these Formlabs sample parts were designed for printing on Form 4 and have been validated.

Are there any specific 4L models that you’re looking for? I’m happy to ask around! (there are a bunch of other forum posts asking the same, and the .form files were posted in the threads as a reply and not in the .form File Community Library category)

Thanks Henry. We have a large Bio department, College of Nursing, and College of Pharmacy. Having some detailed anatomically correct print of a human body for educational purposes would be pretty cool. (Or something of that nature).

@gpingen check out https://3d.nih.gov/

They have a massive library of models that we couldn’t hope to replicate
