Printing
Slicing File Preparation
Prepare a slicing file in ShapeWare software, and transfer it to the Printer
by USB driver, Wireless, or Ethernet network.
Printing file load
- Select a printing task in the historical list
- Printing tasks were delivered from ShapeWare
- Read the printing file in the USB drive
Confirm the information of the printing task
Check with the printing platform
- The surface of the printing platform should be clean and free of foreign matter.
- Make sure the printing platform is installed correctly and reliably.
After long-term usage, there may be pits or scratches on the surface of the platform which will not influence the quality of the printing. However, convex on the surface of the platform is not allowed to avoid the risk of damage to the release film.
Check with the resin tank
- Do a visual check that whether the release film is damaged and if any foreign matter is available in the resin tank if it is an empty one.
- If there is residual resin available in the tank, use the plastic scraper to scrape the bottom of the resin tank slightly to check whether the release film is damaged, and mix the resin evenly in the meantime.
Add resin
- Make a judgment on whether it is necessary to add resin according to the remaining amount in the resin tank and the consumption of the next printing task. The bottle which is containing the resin material should be shaken up and down adequately just before pouring the resin material into the resin tank.
- The liquid level of the resin should be kept between lines ” min” and “max”.
- The bubble generated by shaking does not affect the print quality.
- Contacting with resin directly may lead to skin irritation, and please wear disposable gloves in any operation which was related to resin material.
- If you eat the resin by mistake, please seek for medical care immediately.
Print
Click the “PRINT” button to initiate the task, then wait for the completion of
printing.
Post-processing
Preparation
- Post-processing work will lead to resin dripping, and waste liquid or waste residues would be generated accordingly also, then pollution prevention should be considered during the preparation.
- The item should be prepared: Disposable glove, spray bottle, brush, shovel blade, hammer, tray, and plastic box ( It is recommended to equip with ShapeWash washing unit).
Remove the printing platform
Rotate counterclockwise to release the handle, and pull outward to remove the
printing platform.
Clean the resin tank
Click “Clean resin tank”. After curing, please shovel the cured layer of resin
along the edge of the resin tank with the plastic scraper until it is
separated at the corner, then tear down the whole layer of resin with your
hands by wearing the disposal gloves and discard afterward.
Cover the resin tank with a lid if the resin material needs to be stored
within the tank temporarily.
Please take resin material out of the tank if it will be not consumed in 3
days, make sure to get it filtered before storing it in a light-proof
container. It was not recommended to mix it with the original one directly.
Shovel printed parts
Please use the shovel blade to shovel the printed parts off from the printing
platform. Place the blade as parallel as possible to the platform to avoid
scratching.
- For removing models directly placed on a printing platform without a support structure, such as ‘td dental models, the rubber hammer could be used to tap the blade to remove models.
- Be sure to wear anti-cutting gloves, and the blade of the shovel should be not orientated to the body of the user during the operation.
Clean printed parts
- Preparation: Please fill the spray bottle with IPA or 95% alcohol.
- Brush the model in the cleaning tank for preliminary cleaning.
- To obtain a better effect of cleaning, it is recommended to conduct ultrasonic washing with cleaning solvent twice, and 1-2 minutes was needed every time. The clean solvent should be used for the second washing.
- After the preliminary cleaning, please spray the cleaning solvent on the model. After cleaning, the surface of the model is dry and free of sticky hands.
Clean the printing platform
After the printed parts are removed, use a shovel blade to clean the surface
of the platform, please be aware that do not damage the platform during the
operation.
- If the type of resin material will change in the next task, the printing platform shall be cleaned with cleaning solvent carefully to remove residual resin.
Maintenance
Clean light path
LCD 3D printer is a precision optical device, and the light path shall be kept
clean to avoid a reduction in printing accuracy and quality. The optical path,
which is composed of the screen and the release film, shall be cleaned
regularly. Do the cleaning work with dust-free wipes, or absolute ethanol in
case it is necessary.
Clean resin tank
If you only have one resin tank, and need to change the resin material:
- Firstly you need to empty the resin tank by pouring the current resin material into a light-proof container for temporary storage.
- Clean the resin tank thoroughly with cleaning solvent, and then pour the new resin into it afterward.
- At the same time, clean the printing platform with solvent carefully.
If you need to change resin material frequently, it is recommended to equip with multiple resin tanks:
- Remove the current resin tank and place it on a clean and flat surface, such as on top of a resin tank lid or a piece of clean A4 paper. Then cover it with a resin tank lid.
- The resin should be taken away from the resin tank and filtered just before storing it in a light-proof container if it will not be consumed in 3 days. Do not mix it with the original resin directly.
- Clean the printing platform with cleaning solvent carefully in the meantime.
Maintenance work in case the printing part falls off during printing
In case of such problems as part falling off (the printing part falls off from
the printing platform) and delamination (the layers of the part fall off or
separate from each other) during the printing process, please make sure to
drain all the remaining resin out of the resin tank and clean away the residue
in the tank, get the resin filtered just before pour it back.
Replacement of air filter
- According to the defined replacement interval of the built-in air filter which was located in the printing chamber, it will remind you to replace the filter element automatically.
- When replacing, remove the filter element box cover, take out the old air filter element, install the new filter element, and replace the box cover.
