Why Others Fail
Why Others Fail
Our competitors rely on outdated leaks and stolen tech from old stratasys models. They have no solutions for infinite chip reuse on new machines, no upgrades, no build area expansion, and no engineering access. PrintOverride creates everything from scratch using our unique engineering know-how, giving you full control over your printer-without vendor lock-in.

FAQ
FAQ
No - the upgrade is 100% digital and fully reversible in under 5 minutes. Once rolled back, the printer looks exactly as it did from the factory. No hardware modifications, no soldering, no logs.
Is the upgrade detectable by Stratasys or dealers?
No - there are no traces in the printer logs. Our software upgrade is completely undetectable. Many clients continue using official service without any issues.
Will the printer be bricked or damaged?
No - the installation is purely software-based. If anything goes wrong (which has never happened), we have deep knowledge of every Stratasys printer and can restore the system from any state instantly. We provide remote support 24/7.
Can I use any third-party filament (Polymaker, Bambu Lab, etc.)?
Yes - once upgraded, you can print with any filament without restrictions. We help our clients to tune basic parameters for specific material (ASA, ABS, PC-ABS, etc.).
How does chip reuse work?
After the upgrade, the printer no longer interacts with the chip in the usual way. Any chip - even a depleted or locked one - is seen as fresh with a predefined starting volume. The user can choose the volume from several standard options (e.g., 123 ci for 2 kg spools, 200 ci, 500 ci, or any custom value) directly after the upgrade. Volume decreases normally during printing, but resets completely on reinsertion. This allows unlimited reuse of OEM chips without any restrictions.
Do I need OEM chips, spools or filament cartridges?
No — you are no longer locked into OEM filaments or spools. The printer only requires an OEM or third-party chip (in any condition) to initialize the spool. After that, you can use any filament without purchasing additional chips. Material type and volume are completely independent of the inserted chip.
- F123 Series: Reuse the same OEM chip with any third-party spool. All 3D models for spool adapters are provided, including a 3D model of a new Material Bay designed for a 2kg spool.
- Fortus Plus & older models: Load any filament into an OEM cartridge — no additional chips or cartridges are required.
Is it reversible?
Yes - rollback takes under 5 minutes. The printer returns to its original state, and all service contracts remain intact.
What if I have an older model (e.g., Dimension SST1200, Fortus 250)?
We also support older series with a lower price (300–500 USD). The same chip freedom and third-party filament support apply.
Do you provide support after installation?
Yes – 6 months of unlimited support + remote help. We’re always available via WhatsApp/Telegram.
Can you help with other printer issues (sensors, failures, etc.)?
Yes - we gladly help our clients fix common failures (sensors, heaters, boards, etc.). Stratasys and dealers usually replace entire modules at high cost and long lead times. We know the full electronics and can repair most issues quickly and cheaply, saving you time and money.
My printer model or feature is not in your list - can you help?
Yes - we always meet our clients halfway and provide custom solutions on request. Price is discussed individually for each case.
Reviews
Real Results from Our Clients
We've helped engineers and companies worldwide unlock their Stratasys printers. Here are some of their experiences.
Mike T.
Engineering Service Provider
After a few days of troubleshooting, we have a fully unlocked machine. The team was extremely responsive and clearly knew the printer inside out. We started printing with Bambu ASA seamlessly. Confidence grew exponentially - ROI expected in 2–3 months.
F370
Justin N.
University Robotics Lab
We upgraded both F770 and F270 without any issues. The team provided tailored options, discounts for multiple machines, and excellent support throughout the process.
F770 & F270
Daniel K.
Prototyping Shop
Unlocked my F170 quickly and started testing affordable third-party materials - works perfectly. Detailed explanations on chip reuse and great remote support.
F170
Dan G.
Imaging Systems Manufacturer
Upgraded to full freedom: EEPROM kit + machine upgrade. Digital install, reversible, warranty safe. Deep knowledge of the system and fast response times.
