Hi hterry,

Thanks for the question. The alternative support presets were removed starting in PreForm 3.60 after an internal evaluation. Usage turned out to be extremely low, and in some cases the presets were contributing to print failures. So we decided to remove them from Preform and move them to a support article.

You can still download them here:

- [Form 4 / Form 4B presets](https://media.formlabs.com/web/97dd10894c6f3be0/form-4-form-4b-support-presets--preform-3-51-0-3-59-1-/?viewType=grid)
- [Form 4L / Form 4BL presets](https://media.formlabs.com/web/da0184d50cdd4bbd/form-4l-form-4bl-support-presets--preform-3-51-0-3-59-1-/?viewType=grid)

They’ll download as a .fps file, which you can import into PreForm using [these instructions](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Using-the-Print-Settings-Editor?language=en_US#import-custom). Once imported, they’ll show up as an additional support setting card you can select during job setup.

Please let me know if you have any trouble downloading the presets and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
