Formlabs Resin Pumping System - Form 3/3+/3L/3B/3B+/3BL
The Resin Pumping System, designed as an accessory for Form 3 (+/B/L/BL) Series stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers, efficiently channels 5 litres of resin directly into the printer’s resin tank. Enjoy an impressive 86% reduction in waste, heightened efficiency due to fewer cartridge changes, and access bulk pricing benefits on Formlabs' SLA resins.
The Resin Pumping System comprises a Resin Pump linked to a 5L Resin Container, tubing, and a distinctive resin card. This innovative setup not only tracks material usage but also alerts you when resin levels are low, ensuring seamless printing.
To start printing using the Resin Pumping System on your Form 3/B/+ or Form 3/B/L, follow these straightforward steps:
1. Slide the resin card into the Resin Pump's slot.
2. Unscrew the cap of the 5L Resin Container and attach the transfer cap.
3. Disconnect the silicone plug from the transfer cap and link the tubing between the Resin Pump and Resin Container.
4. Remove the drip cap from the Resin Pump and position it into the printer's cartridge slot.

What materials can't be used with this pump?
Heavily Filled Resins, PU Family resins, and 3rd party resins are incompatible with the Resin Pumping System. Several others are not compatible due to other reasons
What is the lifespan of the pump?
Formlabs resin pumps were tested for up to 600 hours of pumping without experiencing failure which translates to between 350 and 850 litres of resin depending on the resin viscosity.
The pumps have the same 1-year warranty that all Formlabs products fall under which covers failures due to manufacturing defects.
What is the lifespan of the tubing?
Over time, the pump’s tubing will begin to wear out and pump performance will diminish resulting in slower fill rates. For this reason Formlabs recommend changing the pump tubing every 6 months.

PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.
Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.
Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.
We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
