5.2.3 Draining and drying parts
The platform mount and basket raise automatically
at the end of the wash cycle. Solvent drains into the
wash bucket as parts dry. To help with drainage, the
Form Wash L tilts the platform mount to the side for
two minutes after the wash cycle completes.
To disable the tilt feature:
1. Tap the wrench icon. The Settings screen appears.
2. Tap the Tilt Mode toggle.
Thoroughly drain solvent from printed parts. Carefully
check and drain concave or hollow geometries that
may hold additional solvent. Allow parts that have
been washed in any solvent that evaporates readily
to air dry for at least 30 minutes after washing and
draining. Solvents that do not evaporate readily, such
as tripropylene monomethyl ether (TPM), should be
washed off the parts with a secondary water rinse.
Ensure appropriate ventilation while the solvent
evaporates. Refer to section
5.1. Operational
environment for more information.
Observe necessary safety precautions, according to
the solvent supplier’s SDS. Options for drying include
air drying or forced air. Forced air, such as a fan or
clean compressed air, may dry parts more quickly.
Check inside cavities and channels for uncured resin or liquid solvent. Remove
residual liquid before drying to avoid fully or partially cured resin in unwanted areas.
Compressed air may be helpful to empty internal channels before drying. To begin the
next wash immediately, dry the parts outside of the Form Wash L.
5.2.4 Collecting printed parts
Remove the build platform or parts from the basket, depending on the wash method used in
5.2.1 Inserting printed parts .
5.2.5 Additional finishing steps
After washing parts on the build platform, remove parts from the build platform with the removal
tool, scraper, or flush cutters.
Take care to avoid injury from sharp elements (e.g., flush cutters, scraper, or
removal tool) and slippery surfaces when removing wet parts from the build
platform.
