Formlabs Form Studio 1 Build Platform Jig
What is the Form Studio 1 Build Platform Jig?
The Formlabs Form Studio 1 Build Platform Jig is a dedicated benchtop mounting fixture engineered to hold the Form Studio 1 Build Platform firmly in place during part harvesting. Removing rigid resin prints from solid aluminum platforms requires leverage, and attempting to pry parts while holding a slippery, resin-coated platform by hand presents a hazard.
By securing directly to the edge of your workstation using dual integrated clamps, this jig anchors the platform at an accessible, upward-tilted angle. This stable setup allows you to use both hands to guide scrapers and removal tools with complete control, protecting your parts from chipping and your hands from accidental tool slips.
Key Features at a Glance
- Dual Heavy-Duty Bench Clamps: Twin threaded clamping screws with sliding tommy bars lock securely onto standard tabletop and workbench edges.
- Ergonomic Angled Cradle: Holds the build platform at a comfortable upward angle to provide direct leverage along part chamfers.
- Two-Handed Harvesting Safety: Anchors the platform completely rigid, freeing both hands to manipulate scraper tools safely.
- Reinforced Structural Body: Molded with an internal honeycomb rib pattern that resists high prying torque and scraping forces.
- Custom Form Studio 1 Geometry: Tailored specifically to seat the low-profile handle and bracket of the Form Studio 1 Build Platform securely.
Why Choose the Build Platform Jig?
Upgrade workbench safety, increase tool leverage, and prevent part damage during post-processing.
Enhanced Operator Safety
Eliminates the danger of holding a loose platform with one hand while pushing a sharp scraper with the other, preventing slips and puncture accidents.
Optimal Removal Leverage
The tilted cradle presents raft edges at an optimal attack angle, letting you pop rigid parts off the aluminum face with minimal effort.
Protects Fragile Geometries
Steady, controlled two-handed leverage prevents abrupt scraper jerks that can chip thin walls, fine margins, or delicate features.
Clean & Stable Station
Dual screw clamps prevent the jig from sliding or wobbling, keeping scrapings and excess resin confined to your designated post-processing zone.
How It Works: Design & Workflow
The Formlabs Form Studio 1 Build Platform Jig mounts over the edge of your desk or post-processing table. Two heavy-duty lower clamping screws press upward against the underside of the table, sandwiching the benchtop to create a solid, immovable workstation.
Engineered for High-Torsion Leverage
Removing rigid resins like Alpha Model or Tough 1500 V2 from aluminum build plates can require substantial mechanical prying force. The jig is reinforced with an underside honeycomb matrix and a sturdy rear support rib that evenly distributes downward and torsional loads into your table structure rather than flexing.
Simple 4-Step Part Removal Workflow:
- Clamp to Bench: Slide the jig onto the edge of your workbench and hand-tighten the dual threaded clamp screws using the integrated T-handles until firmly anchored.
- Insert Platform: Slide the handle and latch bracket of your Form Studio 1 Build Platform directly into the angled receiver cradle.
- Detach Parts: With the platform anchored, place both hands on your part removal tool or scraper and slide the blade smoothly under the raft chamfer to release the print.
- Clean & Store: Remove the platform, wipe away any residual resin drops from the chemical-resistant jig surface, and leave it clamped in place for your next print run.
