| 1.14.0 |
- Compatible with PreForm 3.40.1 and later
- New features:
- Custom display names: Change the display name of your printer, visible on the home screen, in PreForm, and in Dashboard, by tapping Settings > General > About this printer > Display name. The original Formlabs serial name is still accessible in the About this printer menu and on the back of the machine.
- Improvements:
- Touchscreen will now display information and relevant warnings about mismatched colors between consumables when using Formlabs' new Color Resin.
- The print queue now displays information about the print settings file (name and hash) used with a particular print. Requires PreForm version 3.51.0 or later.
- When the Resin Pumping System is installed and in use, Form 4L generation printers will dispense from a backup cartridge installed in the other cartridge slot if the Resin Pumping System runs out of resin. (Form 4L generation only)
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where camera lights could get out of sync during a timelapse print, resulting in dark timelapse videos.
- Fixed an issue where a cleaning sheet for a new material could not be run after the first print due to an Incompatible material warning. Previously, this required rebooting the printer to fix.
- Fixed an issue where fast, repeated use of the Camera Snapshot feature in PreForm would cause the camera flash to stay on until the printer was rebooted.
- Known issues:
- When printing with a Default print setting with a PreForm version between 3.51.0 and 3.52.0, the printer will display the FPS file hash but not the name. Update PreForm to version 3.52.0 or later to resolve this.

| 1.13.1 |
- Compatible with PreForm 3.40.1 and later
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bug in firmware 1.13.0 that prevented using the touch screen to manually set or change the printer IP address: When using firmware version 1.13.0, manual IP addresses set on the printer could be changed via the touchscreen but would fail to save. Manual IP addresses on already-connected printers were not changed by this bug; users of this feature do not need to take any proactive recovery action.

| 1.13.0 |
- Compatible with PreForm 3.40.1 and later
- Improvements:
- Smarter resin preheating: Preheating is now resin-dependent: Alumina 4N ceramic resin now preheats to 20 °C instead of 35 °C. This will improve resin lifetime.
- Bug Fixes:
- Form 4L cartridge “Low Flow Rate” warning: Fixed issue introduced in firmware version 1.12.0 causing frequent false “Low Flow Rate” warnings.
- Printer freezing during preheating: Fixed issue where a system error during preheating could leave the printer unresponsive, requiring a power cycle to recover.
- Incorrect error message text: Fixed bug where the printer showed “Print in progress” instead of an error message when a print was paused due to an error.
- False “Mixer detected debris” error: Fixed bug where the printer would falsely display “Mixer detected debris” when the build platform was descending during the print preparation phase following a previously-stopped print.
- Duplicating prints from Dashboard: Fixed issue where duplicated prints—originally sent from Dashboard—did not show job details on the printer display.
- License download: Fixed issue where printers time out when trying to download licenses.
- Large Preform printer log download: Fixed issue where downloading printer logs in Preform would fail if the actual log size was larger than 2 GB.

- Compatible with PreForm 3.40.1 and later
- New features:
- Drain Cartridge tool: Switch materials efficiently by automatically emptying remaining resin from a cartridge. Find the tool under Settings > Tools > Drain Cartridge.
- Improvements:
- Smarter resin management: Optimized resin usage by emptying one cartridge completely before starting another, reducing material waste and simplifying cartridge management.
- Proactive tank maintenance: Enhanced tank monitoring now provides timely maintenance reminders every 25,000 layers after the initial 75,000 layer alert, helping maintain optimal print quality and prevent tank-related issues.
- Intelligent preheating: The printer will preheat when uploading a job only when the tank matches the material of the uploaded job, saving on unnecessary preheating.
- Better system insights: Track your printer’s maintenance history with visible calibration dates on the Calibration screen and detailed usage statistics in the Printer Details screen.
- Improved support for Chinese & Japanese: Optimized text sizing for Chinese and Japanese characters.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where tank cleaning recommendations sometimes did not appear after debris was detected
