6 Drying and curing
After you wash the object in isopropyl alcohol, we recommend rinsing it brie‘y under running
water to remove the remnants of isopropyl alcohol. Then, dry it with a paper towel. Remove the tank
from the CW1 and place the object on the rotating platform. Don’t place it in the center, instead,
place it near the edge of the platform. Another option is to insert the whole printing platform with
the object still attached.
Two object placement options for drying and curing procedures. If you place the object on the rotating
platform, place it near the edges, not in the center
Close the lid. The CW1 will recognize that the tank has been removed and oNer Drying and Curing
modes on the XCD screen. Ilways keep the lid closed - there’s a safety switch in the lid that will
stop the process in case you open the lid. Select QStart drying/curing’ on the LCD screen.
The drying and curing times are set to 3 minutes each. It’s a default value that works well for a
majority of 3D printed objects. In case you would still Jnd the object a bit sticky, you can re-run
the process until you reach the optimal result. …ou can set the run-times either via the Run-time
menu or during the process itself by rotating the knob.
Once these actions Jnish, the CW1 will let you know with a beep (default settings, the sound
notiJcation can be disabled).
