What’s Your Printers Name?

Instead of serial numbers, all Form 1 and Form 1+ Printers have unique names made up of a randomly paired Adjective and Animal. For example, the Form 1+ on Support Engineer Brian Allan’s desk is named “ConsciousOtter”. You can find your printer’s name is back of the machine, near the USB port.

Build Your Printers Namesake

So let’s have a bit of a fun competition. Model and print your machines namesake, and post it to this thread on the Formlabs Forums before April 1st. We’ll put together a cast of characters to judge the entries. The winner receives a liter of resin and shiny new resin tank.

You can read more about serial names here in the Formlab’s Forums, including some of the really great ones.

Brian, who moonlights as a Blender ninja, got us started by building his ConsciousOtter.

For bonus points, he gave it an awesome paint job.

A Third eye brings “consciousness” to the Conscious Otter.

Upload your entry to this thread by April 1st, the winner gets a liter of resin and shiny new resin tank.
