Experience the Benefits

Faster Print Turnaround

Having a spare build platform allows you to unload and post-process parts while a new print is already underway.

Durable Print Surface

Built with high-quality materials (e.g., stainless steel or machined aluminum) to withstand repeated prints and extend platform life.

Tool-Free Part Removal

Flexible or quick-release surfaces reduce the risk of damaging parts during removal, making post-print handling easier.

Direct Print Capability

Some versions allow printing parts directly on the platform without a raft or supports, saving material and time in finishing.

frequently asked questions

What printers is this Form 3 build platform compatible with?

It supports the Form 3, Form 3B, and Form 2 series.

Why would I need a spare Form 3 build platform?

Having a second one allows uninterrupted printing — you can remove parts from one while another print runs.

How do I clean and maintain the Form 3 build platform?

Clean the surface before each print, and when changing resin types remove the print-surface for full cleaning.

What if the printer won’t detect the Form 3 build platform?

It could be a firmware issue, a broken detection plunger, or a damaged build platform handle — inspect and replace if needed.

How can I reduce issues like “elephant’s foot” or flashing at the base of parts?

Use the Print Settings Editor to adjust early layer exposure or offset to reduce build platform flashing around the part base.
