 ===== About =====
-The Form 2 Printers (Magnificent Ram and Electric Colt) are located in Fume Hood #2 in 2448 Elings Hall.
+The Forms Printers are located in the Innovations Workshop with the Form 2/3 (Magnificent Ram/Caring Vischacha) in Fume Hood #2 in 2448 and another Form 2 (Electric Colt) located in 2442.
-The Form 2 printers are liquid resin stereolithographic 3D printers capable of producing high resolution accurate models out of a variety of materials. Liquid resin printers use a bath of reactive resin which is precisely cured using specific wavelengths of light. This printer is particularly well suited for thin high aspect ratio features and models requiring great surface accuracy.

This printer is particularly well suited for thin high aspect ratio features and models requiring great surface accuracy.
 Based on the material and application, some prints will benefit from post process UV curing to strengthen and harden the finished part. See part curing documentation in UV FormCure reference documentation.
+Both the resin cartridges and build platforms are cross compatible with both the Form 2 as well as the newer Form 3 3D printers however the build tanks are not interchangeable. Types of resins are distributed between the Form 2 and Form 3 based on frequency used as well as which benefit from the low force SLA process employed by the Form 3 and should not be swapped without consultation with the staff.
+Resin expires a year after the date printed on the cartridge.

-===== Operating Procedures =====
-  - Check resin cartridge and tank, make sure build material matches and is desired material.
-  - If resin is not desired material, disconnect wiper at build tank, remove build plate by sliding towards front of fume hood. Remove cartridge, cap valve on bottom and close valve on top of cartridge. Replace build tank, wiper, and cartridge with desired material.
-  - Launch Preform on Ultimaker computer
-  - Import desired STL
-  - Select "one click print" in the top left corner menu, change position, orientation, resolution and support as desired (note: that Preform will report on print ability of model, changing part rotation can affect print ability.
-  - Select print (orange button) from top left menu
-  - Select desired printer
-  - Press button on Formlabs printer to start print
