Formlabs Studio 1

“That's why the entire influencer campaign exist and almost every influencer is saying the same thing.”

“they just release to get consumers innto their ecosystem before slowly starting to lock people in again”

“I think they've considered a lot of these problems from the perspective of handling resin when they designed the system.”

“I don't need to shell out for any proprietary nonsense like cartridges”

“Return the printer immediately. Not kidding.”

“than to use a printer I can't fix & can't use generic material of my choice on.”

“"A tad messy" really undersells it. You need a solid process to manage the (sticky, carcinogenic, smelly) liquid resin”

“it's toxic and fiddly and you can very very easily ruin your machine”

“Formlabs seems to be able to deliver that.”

“In theory this model from Formlabs would require less contact with the resin.”

“the resin isn't great to handle”

“when i’m printing a lot with the same material the tank cost doesn’t add much”

“They are nasty, chemically, they require you to set up a "hot zone", you need ppe”

“no idea why I would buy this/why this is an improvement off my current printer based on what is presented on the marketing pages”

“Formlabs printers use something other than regular FEP, and uses tool-less assembly that cannot be reversed”

“there are loads of options with --on paper-- better specs for half this price or less”

“glosses over the fact that it uses proprietary resin cartridges”

“I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate these Formlabs printers.”

“I felt like the applied science video was an ad”

“"USD700" is almost double what a mid-sized Creality printer costs”

“the form studio is a great option”

“It uses toxic resin, you really don't want it working near humans without proper ventilation setup”

“I do appreciate what seems to be the first ever initiative in 3D printing to address the elephant in the room of VOCs directly at the material level.”

“$79 per tank. Along with some issues with the screen and the non-pro resins.”

“The engineering grade Tough 1500 is already validated on the Studio 1, and requires the $79 tank, plus is a major selling point of this printer.”

“it also seems like a lot more hassle to me at this stage”

“the Studio 1 does require you to buy a special $80 tray”

“Seems to be sharper, faster, and larger in volume than their previous offerings”

“The accuracy was great. They'd hold up.”

“In many scenarios it's 10x faster than FDM with better resolution and compatibility with advanced materials”

“The amount of upselling, extra parts necessary for basic functionality, predatory resin pricing”

“Amazing detail, a resin allergy, and cancer”

“the main thing this gets you is much more precise and detailed prints”

“I just saw it on Applied Science and was impressed that mainstream resin printers were available for that price.”

“It's priced very well for the capabilities, especially in terms of providing everything a beginner might need”

“the demos are really impressive”

“$699 is an incredible price”

“This printer at least comes with the "Open Material Mode (included)" that lets you print with 3rd party resins.”

“they’re willing to sell a $700 printer and also not restrict resin like their more industrial machines”

“That is a pretty good price in todays manufacturing landscape.”
