1 Introduction
The Original Prusa Curing and Washing Machine (CW1) is a 3-in-1 device designed for quick and
easy post-processing of objects printed from liquid resins.
Objects printed from liquid resin are usually a bit soft and sticky. To clean them and give them
optimal surface properties, the objects need to be washed, dried and cured. This process involves
washing the object in isopropyl alcohol, drying using hot air and curing using UV light. The Original
Prusa Curing and Washing Machine (CW1) can take care of all these actions in 10 minutes. However,
some caution needs to be exercised when handling liquid resins and isopropyl alcohol. Please read
this handbook carefully.
Any time you handle resins (even 3D prints with traces of liquid resin) or isopropyl alcohol, wear
protective gloves! Resins and IPA have distinctive odors - consider wearing a simple respirator in
case you Jnd the odors irritating. The Original Prusa CW1 should be placed in a well-ventilated
area!
