6 Maintaining your printer
6.1 Using the Clean Vat function
When a print fails, you can use the Clean Vat function to remove pieces of print that did not
securely attach to the build platform during the print process.
The Clean Vat function cures a layer of resin at the bottom of the vat. You can then easily
remove the cured layer and dispose of it with any other debris.
You will need the following items:
• Some stiff paper or cards;
• A bin and clear plastic bag; and
• Personal protective equipment (PPE), i.e. chemical resistant gloves.
Note:
We strongly recommend that you wear a respirator if you are working with 3D
printing materials for extended periods of time.
To use the Clean Vat function:
Step 1
Press the
Clean
button on the
Home
screen.
Step 2
Click and drag the spinner to set a value for the length of curing time for the
Clean Vat function. You can also use the up and down arrow buttons to set the
time value in seconds.
• We strongly recommend setting a time that is three times more than the
normal curing time of the resin.
Step 3
Press the
Clean
button. The printer cures a layer of resin at the bottom
of the vat.
Step outcome:
The printer shows “Clean Finished” when the process is
complete.
Step 4
Remove the vat from your printer and put it flat on the table so that it is easier
to work with.
