== Consumables and Materials ==  
== Paid Parts Program ==
'''Who provides resin and trays?'''
You may purchase your own resin and tray, or join a co-op to share materials with a small group: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Formlabs_Form_3_SLA_Printer_Co-Ops


Members may have a part run at the cost of the resin without needing to be authorized.


You can send an STL file for automatic supports to Shauen via discord or email - automatic settings are used to produce your part. Someone will be in contact with you to confirm material and collect payment.


==Prerequisites to Authorization==
You can also prepare files yourself using the Formlabs Preform software. There is a Discourse thread discussing how to do so in great detail: https://discourse.pumpingstationone.org/t/how-to-succeed-using-preform-for-the-form-3-sla-3d-printer/1210


The only prerequisite for Form 3 authorization is to be authorized on the "regular" 3D printers. Must be able to create a print on one of the currently operational filament printers. Formlabs authorization is about one 3-hour session.
==Authorization==


Authorization is currently restricted, though authorization is not required to print through the [[Paid Parts|paid parts program]].


== Authorization - How to Sign Up for Training ==


Google form (application) will be available soon.
==Scheduling==


== Authorization Tracking ==




'''Using Canvas for Tracking Authorizations'''
'''Danger Committee'''
Authorizations will be tracked in Canvas. This will be set up shortly.
