The underlying exposure time is too long and the bottom layer is inflated.

 Because the exposure time is too long or insufficient

the exposure time should be adjusted appropriately.

The resin selected is not in the specified curing band.

©How to deal with a layer of resin residue on the LCD screen?

The resin that is cured on the 

LCD

 screen is usually a film

which can be peeled off by hand or gently scraped off 

with a knife.

©Why is there a step pattern in the Z-axis direction of the print model?

SparkMaker

 

light-curing 

3D

 printer is a surface-hardening method for layer-by-layer printing. In the case 

of high layer thickness

there will be a step pattern in the 

Z

-axis direction of the model. This is caused by the 

molding principle itself

and the lower layer thickness can be selected to reduce the step pattern.

©Why are there details or missing features on the print model?

The model features or details are too small

,

 and the printer resolution is difficult to meet the printing.

Check that these details or features lack support or support density and thickness is incorrect.

Open the slice file in the computer software and check if the image is missing.

Check if the light on the light board is not lit when printing.

 Check for obstructions or residual glue on the 

LCD

 screen.

Check the top and bottom of the 

FEP

 film of the tank for obstructions or residual resin.

If the hardness of the resin is too low

a resin with a higher hardness should be used.

©Why hasn't the whole process been completed and printing stopped? 

Check if the print file is saved completely.

Check if there is an unexpected power failure during printing.

 Check if the power socket is stable.

Check if the 

SD

 card is plugged in.

 Check if the knob rotates smoothly and whether it flashes red light slowly during printing.

105

Check that the 

Z

-axis motion is smooth.

Check if the resin in the tank is sufficient.

©Note on the use of the LCD screen

The normal life of the 

LCD

 screen is about 800 hours

and the 

LCD

 screen warranty period is 2 months.

The resin or other liquid on the 

LCD

 screen will damage the 

LCD

 screen.

Excessive pressure will break the 

LCD

 screen.

©Note on the use of FEP film

Carefully protect the 

FEP

 film from scratches.

After a period of use

if there are a lot of obvious creases on the 

FEP

 film

replace the new 

FEP

 film in time.

Please clean the resin residue on the upper and lower sides of the 

FEP

 film in time to avoid printing failure.

When installing the tank

the 

FEP

 film should be in close contact with the 

LCD

 screen.

The 

FEP

 film is stretched at the bottom of the tank. This material has low adhesion

can pass ultraviolet 

light

and has a long service life. Its function is elastic release

and materials such as glass and ordinary plastic 

film cannot be replaced.

©Precautions for the use of the tank

If the resin in the tank is not used for a long time

please pour the resin into the storage container. Don

'

store it in the tank for more than two weeks.

 Please do not pour in excess resin to prevent the resin from overflowing and causing damage to the 

LCD 

screen.

Please do not put the resin into the screw mounting hole and the outer wall of the tank

which will cause the 

LCD

 screen to be damaged. If it accidentally flows in

please clean it in time.

When installing the tank

the 

FEP

 film should be in close contact with the 

LCD 

screen.

The slot mounting screws should be balanced and tightened to tighten the 

FEP

 film.
