Premix Material Before Cartridge Installation - 3D Systems FIGURE 4 MODULAR User Manual

1. Always tighten the vent cap completely when the cartridge
is outside of the machine. This will prevent accidental
seepage of material in your storage area and during
cartridge rolling. Do not loosen the vent cap for ventilation
until after installing it in the printer.
1. Always keep the rubber cap securely over the cartridge
valve when the cartridge is outside the machine. This will
prevent material from curing on the cartridge valve. Be
sure to remove this cap before inserting into printer, as in
the procedure Replace Empty Cartridge
1. Store your material cartridges upright, if possible, in the included cartridge stand. If you must store your cartridges on
their sides, ensure that the caps are at the 12-o'clock position relative to the ground.
1. Do not insert a cartridge if the MCO Kit is not correctly
installed in the MDM. This should only be an issue when
performing a Material Changeover. Installing the cartridge
without the MCO Kit in place can cause damage to the
cartridge-chip reader.

6.3.1 Premix Material Before Cartridge Installation

CAUTION: Failure to sufficiently pre-mix materials according to this chart may result in color deviation and/or
print failure.
Before installing a material cartridge in a Printer, to provide the best-possible material mixture to print with, you must mix the
material cartridge by hand-shaking it vigorously in an up-and-down motion, according to the chart below.
For material standing in the resin tray, you must stir it in between builds using the
tray serves two purposes: 1. Ensuring a good material mixture; and, 2. Ensuring there is not debris in the resin tray, such as
partially cured particulates. Mix your material in the tray according to the chart below.
