Did you know that each Form 1 has a unique name? Instead of going with boring, serialized numbers to identify each printer, we assigned animal names. If you look at the sticker on the back panel of your printer, you’ll see **SN AdjectiveAnimal**. My Form 1 is named DefiantCaribou. Thanks to the modeling of CreativeTools on Thingiverse, I was able to print a Defiant Caribou of my own. What’s your printers name? Can you print it? Craig Pro Tip: you can also find the name of your Form 1 by turning off the machine and then pressing and holding the button for three seconds. The name will appear on the OLED display. ![](https://support.formlabs.com/attachments/token/2pr3afpkywbvvhi/?name=formserialnumber.jpg) ![](https://support.formlabs.com/attachments/token/eeymqxqykstdsfe/?name=caribou.JPG) ---

I have a Dynamic Coyote. He is not a regular coyote because he is very dynamic. I love that you guys decided to give them AdjectiveAnimal SNs; I won’t have to remember a crazy 2-billion-letter-and-number-long string. Funny thing about holding the button down; that was the first thing I did, and thought it was normal operation till I turned the printer on a few more times. 🙂 ---

Inspired by Ubuntu’s release naming scheme? 🙂 ---

Kinda random I bet, just to make it impossible to figure out how many printers are in the “wild”. ---

Hey FormLabs crew!  For an additional dollar amount can I pick the name of my printer when I order it?  I’m claiming SleepingDragon :)  I would pay an additional $20 for that.  Kick the idea around the office a bit, k? ---

I don’t think it’s entirely random. First letter probably is alphabetically incremented? Bunnie’s serial (he has a pre-prod unit) is ChiefCat. I have an Initial Formation unit and my serial is DarkPig. ---

I would have paid extra as a Kickstarter reward to have Marc’s serial ‘number’.  That’s awesome. ---
