4.

  Fold over the other side of the film and pulling 

it firmly tight in the middle stretch the edges 
out so there are no creases.

5.

  Pull each side of the film up and onto the sides 

of the vat. 

6.

  Apply single sided tape at the corners over the 

folds to keep the film tight. The vat should now 
be tensioned. Trim excess edges off.

7.

 Finally, fill with water and leave on absorbent 

paper to check for leaks. Drain and dry with 
paper towel before use.

8. PRINTING YOUR 

OWN PARTS

STARTING A PRINT WITH 

CREATION WORKSHOP

In this section, we will learn how to use Creation 
Workshop to prepare your 3D parts for printing.

1. Home the printer by consulting section 2 the 

homing procedur.

2. Open Creation Workshop.exe and load your 

objects (STL, OBJ or AMF).

3.  With the object loaded and located in  the 

 

build area check the settings of the printing 
profile. Go to the “Configure” screen and open 
the “Configure Slicing Profile” tab. Select the 
printing profile from the “Machine Profiles” list 
that matches your resin and desired resolution 
for example “LCPrecision High Tensile Cream 50 
Microns”. 

Note:  Always click “Apply Changes” to save if 

you had to change any values. If you don’t click 
this your data will not be re-set.

4.  Now click “3D View” and check that the object 

is correctly placed inside the printing area. 

5. Press the slice button to start the slicing 

operation. A confirmation window will show. 
Always re-click the “Slice” button if you adjust 
the file in any way.

6.  Now check the “Slice View” screen to check that 

the first layer of every object is in contact with 
the build base. If it is above the build platform   
it will not adhere. If you click on the view box 
located in the bottom left corner you can scroll 
forward through the slicing views using the 
slider bar and check that the object is always 

You should now have successfully printed the ring 
and it’s time to print your own parts.
