Overall, this machine is a great machine. However, I have some complains. Cleaning the machine needs time since cleaning up is not easy and I have to deal as well with the messy resin. Not to mention that the customer is not impressive as well. The machine was damaged when I received it and all I spend is wasting my time troubleshooting it. And I have to wait for 2 months for my replacement to arrive.
The Form1+ is really a great machine. The build is very impressive. The printer is very easy to use. You can operate it easily and produces good quality. It has minimal failures. Based on my experience, the only downside is the PDMS that needs to be replaces after several prints.
The Form1+ gives the user a very good print quality. Some printers cannot achieve the printing quality of this printer. The Form1+ printer has the capacity to print 3D printed parts that would impossible for FFF 3D printer to produce.
The negative side is the amount of maintenance needed for the machine. The machine is very expensive to run since the resin is very expensive. This printer is not ideal for beginners and average user. It is best for engineers and professional designers.
Generally, I am happy and satisfied with this printer. However, you have to tune it a bit to ensure that you are getting what you need and everything is set up accurately. I just hope that the build volume is a lot bigger, maybe 2-4” bigger.
Also, removing the parts of the printer is not easy. I looked into several videos and it really needs time and effort. However, despite these things, I know I made the right decision to buy this printer.
