Prepare And Install The Print Platform; Install Print Platforms - 3D Systems FIGURE 4 MODULAR User Manual

1. Ensure that the lower-print-chamber door fully closes.
2. Your Printer is now ready to pump material from the new
cartridge.
3. Repeat this procedure anytime a material cartridge
becomes empty. This will help ensure that your Printer
experiences the least amount of downtime.
4. If you are filling the resin tray from a completely empty
state, please see the section
more information.

6.4 Prepare and Install the Print Platform

Print Platform Guidelines
Print platforms should be treated with care in order to preserve their shape and coating. Avoid dropping print platforms.
Print platforms should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected after every use to ensure print adhesion, to ensure different print
materials do not mix, and to avoid Resin-Tray membrane damage.
1. Remove and post-process the printed part and the print platform either together or separately.
2. Once the printed part is separated from the platform, follow the instructions in the section
reusing the platform.
3. Inspect the following areas for cured material. If cured material is present, remove using a putty knife or similar tool. See
the Print Platform overview section for definitions of each component:
a. Alignment Grooves
b. Print surface, including inside the holes
4. Verify flatness of the print platform. Ensure the platform has not become concave, convex, or scratched to the point of
making a groove. If the platform is damaged, as discussed or otherwise, dispose of the platform. The user is responsible for
determining the integrity of the print platform before using it to print.
5. Always handle the print platform with two hands, so as to prevent dropping it on the ground. A drop could cause damage to
the platform, as well as get debris on it, which could contaminate the material in the resin tray.
6. Contaminants such as dust, oils from the skin, or cured print material can cause poor print adhesion and/or material
contamination. Even if it appears there is no contamination, clear materials, or small bits of cured material may not be easily
spotted by the naked eye. Because of all these factors, clean the platform as well as possible in between builds and always
wear 100% nitrile gloves when handling the print platform.

6.4.1 Install Print Platforms

Always wear 100% nitrile gloves when handling the print Platform.
CAUTION: Do not leave upper-build-chamber door open for an extended time. Leaving this open will allow
light to cure the material inside the resin tray and will also allow dust/contaminants in.
In between builds, the Printer will prompt you to install a new, clean print platform. This section describes how to properly
install a print platform.
