3D Printing
Print
- Export 3D print design from software as STL file and make sure to select the units.
- Use PreForm to open the STL file, use the orientation tool and generate the support structures as needed.
- Ensure that the build platform is clean and placed correctly. Properly insert the resin tank and resin cartridge - making sure the tap is open.
- Upload the print.
- Printer will indicate if any component is missin, also will prompt if it needs leveling. Follow the instructions accordingly.
- Once finished, remove the build platform and close the cover to avoid light exposure to uncured resin in the tank.
Wash
- Put some gloves on. Remove the print from the platform using a scraper -or just remove the quick release platform by pushing inwards both arms.
- Rinse the print with IPA using a squeeze bottle. You can use compressed air to remove resin from concealed areas.
- Open the Form Wash and place the print inside.
- Select resin-appropiate wash cycle (opens new window) and start.
- Rinse additional uncured resin using the squeeze bottle and let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
Cure
- Once the print is completely dry, place it inside the Form Cure and select the appropiate curing settings (opens new window), then press start.
- Once finished, allow the print to cool down to ambient temperature. This will avoid warping.
- Remove the print and remove the supports.
- Use sandpaper to remove any remaining suport marks.
