Selling a Solus
Hello, I'm considering retiring and selling my tools. I've had a Solus for 15 months. It has about 100 hours on it and works well. My question is: Will my program license transfer over to the party that purchases the machine or will that individual have to make an arrangement to buy a new program li...

Sticking film?
The last two times I have used my new printer each time the build plate has come down into the vat and a layer is exposed the build plate will stick to the film.
