1. Print Platform Turn Knob- used to secure the 

print platform prior to printing or to remove it 

upon print completion.

2. Print Platform (in home position)- an Aluminium 

assembly with the following features:

   a. A coating for easier cleaning and removing 

excess resin.

   b. Roughened print platform silver surface to 

increase first layer adhesion.

   c. The print platform has been pre-calibrated 

on our production line according to strict QC 

procedures. This ensures that the bottom 

surface of the print platform is parallel with the 

LCD screen.

   d. Interchangeable platforms, print platforms 

can be swapped between printers without the 

need for re-calibration or homing. To achieve 

optimum Z accuracy, it is recommended that 

2 or more new platforms are dedicated to one 

printer and swapped between each other.  

1. Lifting Handles- when moving LC Magna to a 

new location, the lifting handles can be used. 

Please refer to the LC Magna Installation Guide 

for further guidance.

2. Extraction Port- to connect LC Magna to an 

external extraction unit if required. Please refer 

to the 

LC Magna Installation Guide

 for further 

guidance.

3. Power Connection- this socket has been 

carefully selected to ensure a secure and reliable 

power inlet.

4. USB Port for Wi-Fi Dongle- to plug in the 

provided Wi-Fi Dongle to enhance LC Magna’s 

Wi-Fi detection and connection to a secure local 

wireless network.

5. RJ45/Ethernet Network Connection- LC Magna 

can be securely connected to a LAN or RJ45 

network.

3. Resin Vat- Contains the resin required to 

complete print jobs, featuring:

    a. Spouts to ease the process of pouring resin 

back into its container.

     b. Volume gauge which indicates the amount of 

resin inside the vat.

     c. Durable optically clear film to ensure accurate 

prints and increased longevity. 

4. Printer LCD Screen- Underneath the resin vat is a 

24” LCD screen which displays the slices within 

the  .cws  or  .zip  file,  curing  the  layer  of  resin 

between the vat film and the print platform. The 

screen is covered by a clear screen protector. 

5. Shut Off/Reset Button- If a resin leakage occurs, 

it may enter one or more of the vat leak sensors. 

The sensors prevent resin from damaging the 

‘Blow-Peel’  system  by  shutting  off  the  valve/

(s) and alerting the user by an alarm. For further 

explanation of the cleaning procedure after a 

vat leak, please follow the link to the support 

video on the Magna Resource Hub.

6. Power Button- to turn LC Magna ON and OFF, 

can be used to power the printer or in case of 

an emergency.

Flash Drive provided or, any non-password 

protected USB to LC Magna.

Magna by following simple steps. 

9. Door Switch & Interlock- Safety feature to abort 

the movement of the print arm if the interlock is 

disengaged during printing.

10. 

Scraper- To remove printed parts from LC Magna 

platform and to assist with cleaning of the print 

platform and resin vat.

11. Pozi 1 Screwdriver- to remove small screws 

when changing the vat film.

12. Pozi 2 Screwdriver- to remove large screws when 

changing the vat film. 

13. Vat gasket (x2)- to replace the foam gasket 

between vat ring assembly and vat walls when 

changing the vat film.

14. Blow-Peel Gasket (x1)- To create a seal between 

the vat and the screen protector to ensure the 

Blow-Peel is inflating effectively.

15. Foam Tip Swab- To clean vat leak sensors.

16. Pipette (x4)- To flush/clean vat leak sensors.
