How To Clean The Resin Tray On A Form 2

Y'all must clean the resin tray if:

You believe the resin tray has foreign debris or partially cured print material in information technology.
You lot are using a different impress cloth in the aforementioned resin tray.

Every time you lot remove the resin tray for whatever reason, you lot should also audit/clean the grab tray, every bit in the section Make clean/Supplant the Catch Tray.

Note: The lift must be at its upper limit and the impress platform must non be in the printer during this procedure.

Annotation: Ii iterations of this procedure tends to be enough for a fully cleaned resin tray. If you discover that you need to repeat this process more than than once, consider spending more than time brushing the membrane/tray when soaked in >ninety% booze solvent.

NOTE: Avoid touching the bottom of the membrane during this procedure. If resin is observed on this surface, spot clean with >90% booze solvent by squirting/pouring solvent on the surface area with uncured resin. Finish by drying with compressed air. Exercise not impact Part-Cleaning Castor or whatever other tool to the lesser of the membrane.

Procedure

Push in the tension-arm release lever and lift tension arm.
Using nitrile gloves and using both hands, slowly elevator the resin tray out of the printer.

Caution: Take care not to hit the resin tray on the elevator arms, printer hat, or other printer components during removal.

Y'all may remove partially cured print material and debris from the tray in one of two ways (please merely choose 1):

Cascade the contents of the tray over the tray corner into your hazardous waste material container. The Resin Mixer may exist used to guide print fabric and debris out of the tray.

Caution: Do NOT utilise the Platform Scraper to clean the resin tray, every bit it will hands puncture the resin-tray membrane.

Rather than discarding the print material, you lot may likewise choose to continue this impress material in its bottle. Use a glass funnel or solvent-resistant plastic funnel, along with a 190 micron automotive paint filter, to pour the print textile back into its ORIGINAL bottle. When the tray is about empty, use the plastic resin mixer to guide the concluding bits out. Discard the filter, every bit well as the cured print textile it picks out, according to all government regulations.

CAUTION: Do not pour print material into any bottle other than the one it came in. This is for ii reasons: 1. The bottle has been designed to safely store resin without evaporation or curing inside; and, 2. You lot must scan the barcode on your bottle every time y'all impress. Failure to scan the correct bottle will result in the auto storing incorrect levels of fabric remaining, as well as making it incommunicable for 3D Systems to track the material use should any print material issues ascend.

Place resin tray in its garage.

TIP: You lot may place a paper towel or clean-room wipe on your cleaning surface, so equally non to get print textile and/or solvent directly on information technology. This can too prevent foreign debris from dirtying or puncturing the tray's membrane. If you use this tip, exist certain to discard the paper towel/wipe later each cleaning.

At that place are two different cleaning solvents y'all might use in this stride, depending on which material was in the resin tray:
1. For whatever material EXCEPT for Figure 4 Prophylactic-BLK 10: Pour approximately 250 mL of >90% booze into resin tray and use the Part-Cleaning Brush to gently agitate the cloth on the membrane and tray edges.
2. If cleaning Effigy 4 RUBBER-BLK 10 out of the tray: Pour approximately 250 mL of Propylene Carbonate into resin tray and use the Part-Cleaning Brush to gently agitate the textile on the membrane and tray edges. RUBBER-BLK 10 has some material components that practice non dissolve in >ninety% booze. Exercise not utilize >ninety% booze for this step.
After brushing all surfaces that were in contact with resin, discard dirty solvent according to all government regulations.
Rinse the resin tray with make clean >ninety% booze solvent and discard solvent according to all government regulations. It is okay to use alcohol for RUBBER-BLK 10 in this step.

Dry out membrane gently with 30 psi dry out compressed air using an air gun attachment, or let tray to air dry.

If uncured print material remains within the tray, repeat steps 5-8.
If uncured print cloth remains on the outer edges of the resin tray:
1. Wipe make clean with a lint-free paper towel soaked with >90% alcohol (~15mL). Dispose of used paper towels and gloves discard co-ordinate to all government regulations.
2. Dry out membrane gently with 30 psi dry out compressed air using an air gun attachment, or allow tray to air dry.
