Practical Tips and Tricks
SuperFast 4K: Cleaning and Light Leakage Precautions
When using SuperFast 4K, regular cleaning is easy thanks to water-washable
oligomer technology. Products, platforms, and resin tanks can be cleaned with
warm tap water and soap. However, be aware of possible light leakage from
LCDs. This could lead to the formation of burrs and thin films, which could
affect print quality.
SuperFast 8K: Cleaning, Storage, and Personal Protection
SuperFast 8K, while water-washable, requires careful cleaning to maintain
equipment longevity. Warm tap water and soap should be used after each print
job to remove residual resin. For storage, the resin should be placed in a
cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. While handling the SuperFast 8K,
always wear gloves and masks for safety and to avoid direct skin contact and
inhalation of fumes.
SuperFlex: Handling, Waste Disposal, and Printing Guidelines
SuperFlex resin must be shaken well before use, and operates best at
temperatures between 25 and 35. If the resin is too viscous, preheat the
bottle before shaking. For waste disposal, the liquid should be poured into a
transparent container and exposed to sunlight until it cures fully. The resin
should be stored in a cool, shaded area, away from children. For the best
results, follow the recommended printer settings and resin usage guidelines.
SuperElastic: Handling, UV Exposure, and Storage
The high viscosity of SuperElastic resin requires vigorous shaking before each
use. Wear gloves and ensure a well-ventilated operating environment. Keep the
resin away from strong ultraviolet exposure, such as near windows or
balconies. Store the resin in a cool, shaded area. If unused, pour the resin
into a clean, light-shielded container and seal it tightly.
SuperHDT: Print Preparation, Recrystallization, Safety, and Storage
For high-temperature resistance when using SuperHDT, add extra layer exposure
time during printing. If the resin becomes cloudy, heat it to restore
performance. If recrystallization occurs during storage, warm the resin bottle
to regain clarity. Handle the hot resin with care during post-curing and store
in a cool, dark place. Make sure your 3D printer is compatible with SuperHDT
resin.
SuperPCS: Disposal, Environment, and User Comfort
Proper disposal is essential when using SuperPCS. Expose used water to
sunlight before pouring it into the drain. This resin is environmentally
friendly, and proper disposal helps prevent potential environmental pollution.
SuperPCS has a subtle odor, which reduces discomfort during long printing
sessions.
SuperPP: Disposal, Environment, and User Comfort
SuperPP also requires correct disposal procedures. Ensure that any used water
is exposed to sunlight before being poured into the drain. This minimizes
potential environmental pollution. Like SuperPCS, SuperPP has a subtle odor,
making long printing sessions more comfortable.
SuperRigid: Variance in Material Properties
With SuperRigid, material properties can vary based on various factors, such
as part geometry, printing orientation, and print settings. Therefore, be sure
to adjust your settings appropriately for the best results.
SuperCast: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Several common issues can occur when using SuperCast. Small bubbles on the
casting can be due to a too viscous investment; resolve this by increasing
water content or using colder water. Metal flashes can be due to a weak
investment; reduce water content and extend bench set time to resolve. Partial
fill or porous surfaces can be due to metal freezing; increase casting
temperature or attach reservoirs to rectify. Pitted surfaces can occur due to
incomplete burnout; increase peak burnout time and improve airflow to resolve.
Safety and Precautions
SuperFast 4K
Clean printed products, platforms, and resin tanks with warm tap water and
soap after each use.
Avoid light leakage from LCDs to prevent the formation of burrs and thin
films.
Complies with RoHS and EPA Method 610 safety standards.
SuperFast 8K
Thoroughly clean all equipment after each use with warm tap water and soap.
Store the resin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Always wear personal protective equipment, such as gloves and masks, while
handling the resin.
SuperFlex
Use at temperatures between 25 and 35℃ and shake the bottle thoroughly before
each use.
If the resin is too viscous, preheat the bottle in 80℃ warm water before
shaking.
Always wear nitrile rubber gloves and maintain good ventilation during
operation.
Dispose of waste liquid responsibly by curing it in sunlight before disposing
of it in the sewer.
Store the resin in a sealed, shaded, cool area, out of the reach of children.
SuperElastic
Shake the bottle well before each use, and if the resin is overly viscous,
preheat the bottle with warm water.
Always wear nitrile rubber gloves and ensure good ventilation during
operation.
Avoid using the resin near areas with strong ultraviolet exposure.
Store unused resin in a clean, light-shielded container, in a sealed, shaded,
cool place.
SuperHDT
Increase layer exposure by 0.3s to 0.8s while printing for optimal high-
temperature resistance.
Warm the resin bottle at 140°F (60°C) for an hour or at 120°F (50°C) for a few
hours if the resin recrystallizes.
Post-cure under 20mW/cm2 395nm ~ 405nm LED light for 10 minutes to measure the
print’s HDT.
Handle with caution, using heat-resistant gloves if possible.
Store the resin in a cool, dark place, keeping the bottle sealed when not in
use.
SuperPCS
Dispose of used water responsibly by exposing it to sunlight before pouring it
into the drain.
The formulation of SuperPCS is designed to minimize discomfort from odors
during long printing sessions.
SuperPP
Follow the same disposal practices and environmental considerations as
mentioned for SuperPCS.
The formulation of SuperPP is designed to minimize discomfort from odors
during long printing sessions.
SuperRigid
Printing results may vary based on part geometry, printing orientation, and
print settings.
Parts should be post-cured under a 395 nm LED light at 20mW/cm2 for 10
minutes.
SuperCast
Pay attention to casting issues such as small bubbles, metal flashes or jagged
blobs, partial fill on thin sections, and pitted surfaces on the casting.
Implement solutions like adjusting water content, bench set time, burnout ramp
rate, casting temperature, and the number of sprues, and ensuring airflow in
the burnout oven to rectify these issues.
