PREPARE DUPLICATOR 7 FOR PRINTING

Place 

the 

vat on top of the LCD screen and tighten 

the

 screws to 

secure

 it 

to

 the printer. 

Do not over 

tighten.

9

Slide  the  build  plate  onto  the  build  plate  holder. 

Ensure that the build assembly has the grooved side 

toward the printer.

10

Tighten  the  build  plate  knob  and  loosen  the  four 

screws  at  the  sides  so  the  platform  can  move  freely 

up and down.

11

NOTE: 

Ensure that building plate’s screws are completely free when 

lowering the platform to avoid damage 

to 

the screen.

Click the 

Control

 tab, then click the 

Home

 button 

to lower the platform towards the screen. The 

platform will move down to 

sit

 on the screen 

(level 0 in Z axis) and stop. 

12

Smoothly press the build platform with one hand and tighten the 4 screws. All 4 screws should now be tight. Lift the 

build plate and fill the vat with resin. Printing doesn’t consume a lot of resin, so a quarter full vat is usually enough for a 

medium sized print.

13

NOTE

: Don’t push the build platform too

hard

 

to  avoid  breaking  the  LCD  screen.

 

En

sure  the  platform  touches  the  screen 

sufficiently.

NOTE

:once started, the print can’t be paused and 

refilled

,

 so it's safer to overfill and reuse the resin.
