the printer.

MODEL CLEANING

Perform the following steps to clean your finished print/model.
1. Once the print has completed, twist to remove the build platform, then use a metal
putty knife or spatula to remove the print from the platform.
2. Place the model in a container filled with isopropyl alcohol. Cover the container,
then shake it vigorously for about 30-60 seconds.
Note that the cleaning time should not be more than 5 minutes. If it is cleaned for too long,
the details on the model will soften and the model surface will begin to whiten. The
cleaning time should be shorter if the finished print has a lot of small/fine details.
3. Once cleaning is finished, place the model in a sunny location or under a UV light.
The curing time will depend on the type of resin used.

CLEANING THE RESIN VAT

It is not uncommon for cured resin to stick to the FEP lining in the bottom of the resin vat.
Perform the following steps while wearing gloves to clean this type of obstruction.
1. Use the included hex wrench to remove the protruding screw on the left side and
the protruding screw on the right side of the resin vat.
2. Pour the resin from the vat into a separate container. Do not pour it back into the
original resin bottle. A mesh strainer can help remove small pieces of free floating,
cured resin.
3. Using a plastic spatula, an expired bank/credit card, or other plastic tool that does
not have sharp edges, gently peel the resin from the FEP lining. The FEP lining is
extremely thin and can be torn or punctured if approached too aggressively or with
a sharp tool. Remove any remaining pieces of cured resin.
