The MDM will fill the resin tray with material before printing. The Printer works with all the materials specified in the section

is sufficiently cleaned in between builds, it is possible to use a different material in the same resin tray. However, not every
material can share the same tray, even if the resin tray is cleaned. Please see the section
more information. More importantly, using a different material is not as simple as changing out the resin tray. Please see the

Upper-Limit Stop - The upper limit of the
A
elevator's motion
Elevator Arms - Hold the print platform during
B
part building
Elevator Spine - The elevator block/motor, and the
C
resin-tray chassis, are attached to this.
Print-Platform Sensor - Senses whether or not
D
there is a print platform on the elevator arms
Material Tube Cap Holder - Use the round bracket
E
as a holder for your material tube's cap, to
prevent misplacement.
Material-Delivery Tube - Delivers material to the
F
resin tray as needed from the MDM.
Material-Level Sensor - This detects the level of
G
material in the resin tray. A detection of a lower
level of material will trigger the MDM to pump
more material into the tray. This sensor also
functions as a resin-tray-presence sensor; it will
be triggered by the absence of a resin tray.
Lower-Limit Stop - The lower limit of the elevator's
H
motion
Pneumatic Tension Arms - These arms close over
I
the resin tray to tension the resin-tray film during
printing.
Resin-Tray Chassis - Holds the resin tray in place
J
above, and also holds the catch tray and projector
in place underneath.
