B9Clean General Information 
 

B9Clean 

is a 3D print cleaning system supplied by B9Creations, LLC, Rapid City, SD, USA.

 

 

For proper cleaning of 3D printed articles, this unit utilizes isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is 

utilized to maintain part geometry, properly and sufficiently clean parts, and leave no known 

harmful  residue  on  3D  printed  articles.  Design  considerations  have  been  implemented  to 

significantly reduce the possibility of spills and vapors.  

In harmony with the inherent implemented design precautions, the OPERATOR MUST: 

 

Fully read and understand these Instructions For Safe Use 

 

Handle and store isopropyl alcohol with extreme care, adhering to standard laboratory 

and statutory standards, practices and laws 

 

Operate the B9Clean at a safe distance from all open flames, sparks, and heat sources. 

NEVER operate the B9Clean with the top cover removed or not properly seated 

 

NEVER operate the B9Clean in an unsafe manner 

 

Operate the B9Clean ONLY according to the intended use

 Description

 

B9Clean

 

Enclosed isopropyl alcohol agitator 

for cleansing resin-based 3D printed 

parts of excess uncured resin

 

The 

B9Clean 

is an easily operated, laboratory-grade 3D print cleaning unit to be used in accordance with 

the manufacturer’s instructions, cleaning 3D printed parts that are cured from resin and within the 

supported part size range.   

The 

B9Clean 

has an integrated controller installed inside the base casing. The firmware required for all the 

operations is pre-installed and ready for use. The provided AC/DC power supply (XP Power Verus 120-JA 

and acceptable alternate Triad Magnetics WSX 120-2000) has been tested and is considered part of the 

cleaning equipment.
