If you have a leak on the screen mop up the
liquid resin immediately using absorbent
paper, then clean the screen with a damp
cloth with detergent. Hardened resin can be
removed by chipping it off with a credit card or
plastic scraper. Metal scrapers should only be
used with extreme care to avoid scratching the
screen.
1.
Scrape off any cured resin and clean the build
platform with hot water and liquid detergent.
Dry it thoroughly before inserting it back into
the printer.
2.
Empty and clean the vat after every print. Be
sure to clean it thoroughly as any solid pieces
on the bottom of the vat would prevent the
platform from homing correctly. Loosen the
thumb screws and remove the vat from the
printer; pour the resin back into the bottle
through the funnel, using the strainer provided.
Refer to the video tutorial which can be found
on the Liquid Crystal Precision support page.

7. RE-SKINNING
THE VAT
1.
Remove the film currently taped to the vat
and dispose of it. It may be possible to use
the double-sided tape again if it has no resin
on it. If the tape cannot be reused, remove it
completely and replace on the lower edge of
the vat.
2.
Wipe the vat clean and wash all parts with
soap and water. Pay attention to the underside
of the vat, resin may have cured here. Remove
any hard bits of resin as they may make a hole
when tightening the new film over it.
3.
Check the new vat film isn’t pierced or dented
and place it over the protective brown paper,
on a flat work surface. Place one edge of the
vat along the edge of vat film.
Re-skinning the vat is a simple process but care
and attention must be paid to cleanliness and
removing cured bits of resin. Make sure at each
stage of the process that the work surface, vat, and
your hands are very clean and free from debris that
may cause holes in the film.
Please read carefully.
A loose vat can have creases which create ridges in
the base of the object.
