We recommend washing the printed object while it’s still attached to the printing platform.
However, if you don’t have the Original Prusa SX1, or if the initial washing did not remove some
resin (e.g. under dense supports), you can use the metal basket to wash the object by itself.
Isopropyl alcohol is a volatile "ammable liquid, don’t leave the lid closed when the liquid
container is in the CW1!
