Universal Cartridge
3D Printing Resins offered by the manufacturer are expensive ($180 per liter and up). There are several companies like ApplyLabWork, Photocentric 3D, and 3DResyns offering high quality and special SLA resins for much less. However, they can only print in ‘open mode’, which disables the wiper, heater and auto filling of the resin tank. Printing quality, accuracy and consistency is much higher when printing in closed mode and some resins can only be printed in this mode.
Printing in ‘closed mode’, it will enable:
- Wiper: Enable the wiper to reduce stick to the tank. This reduces tank wear and improves part accuracy. Resin stays mixed and consistent.
- Auto dispensing: Automatically dispense resin into the tank when needed. No more 100ml print limitations and no print line.
- Heater: Resin is sensitive to temperature fluctuations which influences the cure rate. Enable the heater to improve printing accuracy.

1. Which resins are compatible with the printer and Universal Cartridge and what settings should I use? Several manufacturers have developed resins specifically for the Form 2 and Form 3. They can tell you which resin profile their specific resin is developed for. If this is not specified, a good starting point is using one of the standard resin profiles with the corresponding color of the resin. 2. Is it difficult to install a module myself into an empty cartridge? The modification requires a basic understanding of drilling and soldering. To install a module, you need to drill three holes in a cleaned cartridge, solder two wires and glue the module in place. Please watch step-by-step instruction videos from YouTube: 3. What are Formlabs resin profiles supported? The following Formlabs resin profiles are supported:
