Anyone using a Form 4 for production?

I will be purchasing a resin printer for business use, production of functional and mechanical parts, including tooling and injection molds. Consistent and reproduceable precision and dimensional accuracy are the most critical requirements - ease of use and a proven ecosystem, a close second.

I've settled on the Formlabs Form 4 with one concern. Doing some cost analysis with some of the parts I'm looking to produce, resin costs alone will drive costs quite high. I'm not producing products with NASA contracts or medical/dental sales price points, so margins are a concern. I'm beginning to think that, while Formlabs is perhaps the ideal solution for prototyping and tooling validation for farming the production out to injection molding, it may not be the right choice for in-house production.

Is anyone here using their Formlabs printer(s) for small scale, in-house production?

Form 4 Bed Alignment Shims

Hey all! I have a Form 4L and I recently had to change the LPU. I don't have the little bed shims used to align the build plate with the LPU after installation. See pic.

Can anyone measure the thickness of this shim with calipers and let me know? Supposedly they come with the little tool kit that comes with the printer. I would like to just print them on a FDM printer quick and easy so I don't have to go through the hassle of getting a set shipped to me.

Thank you!
