打印机未对准

Form Auto 错误信息:打印机未对准

打印机必须正对部件移除块,以便自动取回打印部件。如果打印机在打印结束时未对准部件移除模块,则会显示错误信息 Printer not aligned(打印机未对齐)。将打印机旋转到打印位置(面向部件移除块),然后点击 Retry(重试)

部件移除失败

Form Auto 错误信息:马达错误
Form Auto 错误信息:部件移除失败

如果 Form Auto 在多次尝试后仍无法自动移除打印部件,打印机会显示 Part removal failure(部件移除失败)错误信息或 Motor error(马达错误)信息。

手动取出打印部件,然后重新插入构建平台并继续打印。取回打印部件:

通信错误

Form Auto 错误信息:通信错误
如果打印机无法与 Form Auto 通信,则会显示错误信息

Communication error(通信错误)。检查 Form Auto USB 连接线是否完全连接到打印机背面的 USB 端口。解决此问题的方法:

  1. 检查打印机上的 USB 端口和 Form Auto 的 USB 插头是否存在液态树脂等污染物。在 Form Auto 和打印机断电的情况下,根据需要使用少量 IPA 清洁 USB 端口或插头。待端口或插头完全干燥后再进行测试。
  2. 尝试将另一台打印机连接到 Form Auto(如果有)。
    • 如果只有一台打印机无法与 Form Auto 通信,则可能需要更换其 USB 端口。Contact Formlabs Support or your authorized reseller.
    • 如果没有打印机可以与 Form Auto 通信,请继续。
  3. 拆卸 Form Auto 的后部门架外壳,以便操作主板。请按照指南 更换 Form Auto 主板 [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [JA] [ZH]中的说明进行操作。
  4. 从主板左侧拔下 USB 连接线。
  5. 将另一根 USB-A 转 USB-B 连接线(例如 Form 3 代打印机随附的连接线)直接插入打印机和 Form Auto 主板。
    • 如果打印机现在可以与 Form Auto 通信,请将电缆穿过 Form Auto 底座,以替换原有 USB 电缆。
    • 如果打印机仍无法与 Form Auto 通信,则可能是 Form Auto 主板损坏或出现故障。请联系 Formlabs Support 或您的 授权经销商

马达错误

Form Auto 错误信息:马达错误

The printer displays a generic Motor error message if the Form Auto motors cannot move as expected. Check for obstructions around the printer and Form Auto that interfere with the movement of the cover or part removal mechanism. If the part removal mechanism interferes with the printer cover, adjust the cover actuator.

The printer may also display a more specific motor-related error, such as Error 357 (which indicates a general motor movement failure) or Error 358 (which indicates that a specific motor failed to reach its home position). These errors also have subcodes: Error 357/1 and 358/1 are related to the part removal mechanism, while Error 357/2 and 358/2 are related to the part release gantry. To resolve these errors:

Error 357

A generic Error 357 is not usually indicative of a more pervasive issue and can often be fixed by resetting and recalibrating the machine. This error and its subcodes occur when the printer sends a command to a motor and the encoder on the motor doesn't detect the expected movement after a few seconds.

  1. Power cycle the Form Auto using the power switch on the unit.
  2. Recalibrate the Form Auto. On the printer’s touchscreen, tap Settings > Form Auto > Calibrate Form Auto and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. When the calibration is complete, run a test harvest. On the printer’s touchscreen, tap Settings > Form Auto > Run Print Removal Cycle.
  4. If the issue recurs, record a video of the print removal cycle showing the error and contact Formlabs Support or your authorized reseller. Include the video you recorded.

Error 357/1

Error 357/1 indicates an issue with the motor that closes and opens the part removal mechanism or its encoder.

  1. Run a test harvest. On the printer’s touchscreen, tap Settings > Form Auto > Run Print Removal Cycle. Check if the part removal mechanism attempts to close or open at all.
    1. If the part removal mechanism does move and the error appears while or after it squeezes the build platform part release paddles, there may be an issue with the motor encoder or limit switch. Power off and unplug the machine, remove the rear shell (on the same side as the power switch), and reseat both ends of the encoder and limit switch cables.

    1. If the part removal mechanism stalls in an unusual place, power off and unplug the Form Auto and move the mechanism by hand to search for a physical obstruction. Replace the part removal mechanism if necessary.
    2. If the mechanism does not move, then the motor is likely the cause of the error. Power off and unplug the machine, remove the rear shell (on the same side as the power switch), and reseat both ends of the motor cable.

  1. If the issue recurs, record a video of the print removal cycle showing the error and contact Formlabs Support or your authorized reseller. Include the video you recorded.

Error 357/2

Error 357/2 indicates an issue with the motor that moves the part removal mechanism towards and away from the printer (also known as the gantry motor) or its encoder.

  1. Run a test harvest. On the printer’s touchscreen, tap Settings > Form Auto > Run Print Removal Cycle. Check if the gantry moves towards the printer at all during the cycle.
  2. If the gantry moves, the gantry motor encoder may be malfunctioning. Power off and unplug the machine, remove the rear shell (on the same side as the power switch), and reseat both ends of the encoder cable.

    1. If the gantry does not move, the motor may be malfunctioning. Power off and unplug the machine, remove the rear shell (on the same side as the power switch), and reseat both ends of the motor cable.

  1. If there's any obvious physical issue with the gantry moving (e.g., a grinding noise, motor stalling noise, excessive resistance when moving the gantry by hand while the machine is powered off, etc.), the mechanism may be misaligned or the belt that drives the gantry may be damaged. Replace the gantry drive assembly if necessary.
  2. If the test harvest completes normally but the printer shows this error, contact Formlabs Support or your authorized reseller.

Error 358/1

Error 358/1 indicates that the motor that closes and opens the part removal mechanism failed to reach its home position.

  1. Check for obstructions around the printer and Form Auto.
  2. Re-rack the part removal mechanism by pulling the arms to the closed position, then reopening them.
  3. Inspect the part removal mechanism pulley and service it if it is slipping. Follow the instructions in the guide Proactively servicing the Form Auto part removal mechanism pulley [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [JA] [ZH].
  4. If the pulley axle is damaged, replace the part removal mechanism. Follow the instructions in the guide Replacing the Form Auto part removal mechanism [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [JA] [ZH]. Replacement part removal mechanisms are available on the Formlabs Store.

Error 358/2

Error 358/2 indicates that the motor that moves the part removal mechanism towards and away from the printer failed to reach its home position.

  1. Check for obstructions around the printer and Form Auto.
  2. Re-rack the part release gantry by pulling it fully towards the printer, then pushing it back to its home position.
  3. Inspect the gantry pulley and service it if it is slipping. Follow the instructions in the guide Repairing a slipping gantry pulley [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [JA] [ZH].
  4. If the pulley axle is damaged, replace the part release gantry. Follow the instructions in the guide Replacing the Form Auto gantry drive assembly [EN] [DE] [ES] [FR] [IT] [JA] [ZH]. Replacement part removal mechanisms are available on the Formlabs Store.

If you see any of these error messages repeatedly, contact Formlabs Support or your authorized reseller.

Form Auto 未校准

Form Auto 错误信息:Form Auto 未校准

在开始打印之前,必须对 Form Auto 进行调平和校准。校准程序将检测 Build Platform 2 相对于部件移除块的确切位置。
