Fired up the Form 2 yesterday, set up a first print, and noted the results here: http://www.flcinnovation.org/form-2-first-print-a-mixed-success/
Suggestions:
- Create interface to allow manual name entry for hidden Wi-Fi networks.
- Provide some greater level of network diagnostics for Wi-Fi and Ethernet. I work in a "challenging" network environment, and can use any and all information about whether the Form 2 is truly connected in a useful way. The only information I was able to find is that the device got an IP lease.
- Put a link somewhere to download the latest firmware. When the machine couldn't update, the solution was obvious: download the latest firmware and point to it. I wasn't able to find it, so what could have been an easy fix necessitated a call/email to support. Support was great, by the way, and then sent a link to the firmware promptly, but I could have easily handled that without any intervention.
- Provide a manual trigger for the leveling process.
It could be that all those are already available and I just didn't see them. I am after all just learning the machine. The result of the first print was mixed. PreForm found problems with the stl files and offered to fix them, but I don't think they were actually fixed, resulting in botched prints. My plan is to fix the files prior to import and give it another go. For the parts that did print, print quality was great.
