FormLabs Build Platform 2 is a new build platform with a flexible print service designed to make it easier to remove parts. Getting parts off of the existing build platform is a tremendous hassle, and frequently results in minor injuries to parts and the user. The new build platform flexes and causes the parts to just snap right off. We could start with just one for the most popular resin, or order multiple. The platforms are $299 each. I think starting with just one for either the white or tough resin might make sense. For all three resins it would be $687 + $12.56 shipping.

Because it would be great to have more reliable, nicer sewing machines.

If we had 2x Form Wash units, we would go through much less IPA. The 1st would be a pre-wash, to get off most of the residue, and the 2nd would be the final wash. The 1st could get really dirty before needing replacement, and the 2nd would stay clean for a long time. https://formlabs.com/store/post-processing/form-wash
