Installing the Material Cartridge
CAUTION: For best results, do not expose the material cartridge to excessive light . Light will begin to cure the
material causing it to harden prior to printing .
Always wear protective gloves when installing or replacing a material cartridge .
1 .
Lift the material cartridge clamp lever (A) up to raise the cartridge clamp .
NOTE: When removing cartridge from foil bag look in bag to ensure
there is no resin inside bag . If resin is present do not insert cartridge
in the machine . Contact your reseller for a cartridge exchange .
2 .
Before inserting a new cartridge into machine, be sure to take the alcohol wipe
supplied with the new cartridge and completely wipe off the entire cartridge
holder as shown .
CAUTION: Failing to wipe away any residual material from the
cartridge holder can contaminate any future builds and glass surface .
NOTE: Always wear nitrile gloves when wiping off cartridge holder to
ensure no material gets on skin .
NOTE: Before opening FTX Gray, Silver, and Gold cartridges, hold the
cartridge securely and shake firmly but carefully for about 30 seconds
to mix the contents .
3 .
Check material cartridge to ensure tab is folded over and facing the front of
machine, if not, fold over now .
4 .
Insert the material cartridge into the material cartridge support and then under
the material cartridge clamp .
NOTE: The material cartridge will set into a pocket on top of the
glass pane .
CAUTION: If a leak/spill occurs do not run the machine . UV curing
will harden it on the window glass and that will make it very hard to
remove . A long cleaning swab and isopropyl alcohol will help clean
up any spilled resin .
CAUTION: It is very important that the cartridge be seated correctly
in the pocket or else a leak can be created in the cartridge which
may damage the system .
NOTE: For machines that were manufactured before 6/12/14 Glass
Frame Assembly will look like photo at right .
