Operation
After having started the machine, the main menu will be displayed. By using the touch screen, you can switch
between each menu levels. The menu levels will be described in the following chapters.
7.1
Preparing the material reservoir and building platform
Caution
Can lead to minor or moderately serious injuries. Low risk of hazard.
7.1.1
Preparing the material reservoir
Ensure that the reservoir
’s bottom
is clean (crystal clear) and that the reservoir is undamaged.
(1)
If necessary, clean the reservoir
’s
bottom with isopropanol followed by glass cleaner.
(2)
Remove foreign objects and, if necessary, polymerized material inside the reservoir by using the
automatic cleaning function (-chapter 7.9.2)
(3)
Check if sufficient material is inside the reservoir. If necessary, refill. (Attention! The maximum
filling capacity of the reservoir is approx. 300 ml. To avoid overflow of the printing material during
printing, the maximum filling level of approx. 13 ml must not be exceeded (see also the maximum
filling level marking in the reservoir, if applicable).)
(4)
Mix the material carefully by using a silicone spatula. The silicone surface of the reservoir must not
be damaged.
7.1.2
Preparing an empty material reservoir
(1)
Clean the reservoir
’s
bottom with isopropanol followed by glass cleaner.
(2)
Clean the reservoir
’s inside with
isopropanol and the silicone spatula. Afterwards, pat dry by using
a finely woven cloth. Never wipe cloth!
(see extra available handling recommendation)
Never use hard and/or sharp objects. These can damage the silicone surface of the reservoir.
(3)
Fill the material reservoir with the material selected in the slicing program. (Attention! The
maximum filling capacity of the reservoir is approx. 300 ml. To avoid overflow of the printing
material during printing, the maximum filling level of approx. 13 ml must not be exceeded (see
also the maximum filling level marking in the reservoir, if applicable).)
