5.2.2 Set Wash Time
To wash parts for a specific amount of time:
1. Turn the knob to navigate the display menu and adjust the wash time.
2. Press the knob to select or confirm.
3. Once the wash cycle begins, select Pause to raise the platform and basket.
Part washing time depends on the resin and solvent used. Check
specific wash time recommendations. Wash for additional time when using partially resin-
concentrated solvent. The wash cycle begins when the platform and basket lower. Ensure
that the outer lid closes and is not obstructed.
To adjust the wash cycle time:
1. Press the knob to access the display menu.
2. Select Pause to raise the platform and basket.
5.2.3 Drain and Dry Prints
The platform mount and basket raise automatically at the end of the wash cycle. Solvent drains into
the wash bucket as parts dry and drips onto the inner lid. Thoroughly drain solvent from printed
parts; carefully check and drain concave or hollow geometries that may hold additional solvent.
Allow parts that have been washed in any solvent that evaporates readily to air dry for at least 30
minutes after washing and draining. Solvents that do not evaporate readily, such as tripropylene
monomethyl ether (TPM), should be washed off the parts with a secondary water rinse. Consult
support.formlabs.com for additional information about working with specific solvents.
Ensure appropriate ventilation while the solvent evaporates. Observe necessary safety
precautions, according to the solvent supplier's SDS. Options for drying include air drying
or forced air. Forced air, such as a fan or clean compressed air, may dry parts more quickly.
Check inside cavities and channels for uncured resin or liquid solvent. Remove
residual liquid before drying to avoid fully or partially cured resin in unwanted areas.
NOTICE
Compressed air may be helpful to empty internal channels before drying.
To begin the next wash immediately, dry the parts outside of the Form Wash. Take extra care
with sharp objects and slippery surfaces when removing wet parts from the build platform.
