 ===== Lab Announcements =====
-/10/25 \\
+/16/2026 \\
-**Fall Update:** Wizards are back and training is ramping up.
+The **Bambu H2D is Down**. The hotend cooling fan has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Parts have been ordered but no ETA yet.
-Over the summer we installed one **Form 4 resin printer**, as well as a new wash and cure station. For those who are trained on the Form 3 printers, feel free to try the Form 4 -- the workflow is nearly identical and up to 10x faster. Once we've used most of our Form 3 consumables, we'll install another Form 4 and retire our Form 3s.
+Most likely, it will not be up until after Spring Break.
-This year we are launching the Future Makers program - a series of field trips and workshops to inspire young students to want to make things. **The lab will be closed from 9am - 4pm on November 14** for our first field trip. Please do not plan to access the Innovation Workshop during that time.
+/12/26 \\
+After a moderate amount of testing and user feedback, **we now only recommend Clear Resin for 3D Printed Microfluidics Molds printed on the Form 4.**
-/11/25 \\
+While our users had a lot of success with Tough 2k V1 and V1.1 on the Form 3, the new V2 formulation does not work well with PDMS casting.
-**Summer Update:** There will be minimal Wizard support this summer at the Innovation Workshop. If you submit jobs, expect them to be performed by the lab manager.
+The upside is clear prints on the Form4 have an incredibly smooth finish, even better than the glossy treatment that we developed a couple years ago.
