Liquid Crystal
All parts produced using Liquid Crystal Magna
will need to be finished using UV light and heat to
fully cure the resin and achieve the correct material
properties. Photocentric recommends using the
Photocentric Cure L2. Please refer to specific resin
TDS information for guidelines on post exposure
timings on the Photocentric website Daylight Resins
here.
Thermal Shocking
1. Upon removing platforms from the cure unit,
immediately submerge fully in cold water.
2. Parts will become free from the print platform.
Manually Removing Parts
If the printed resin is not compatible for thermal
shocking, use cutters to remove the supports from
the part. Alternatively, use the provided scraper to
remove supports from the feet.
After the parts have been removed from the print
platform, fully remove the supports from the part.

Internal dimensions are:
500 (W) x 350 (D) x 550 (H) mm.
Parts should be cured on the platform to maintain
dimensional accuracy.

2.Please refer to resin TDS for guidelines
on time recommendations for curing
3. Set the desired temperature and allow the
Cure L2 to reach the desired temperature.
4. Slot the print platform into the Cure
L2 with parts facing down, ensuring that
the handles slot into the attachment.
5. Press and hold the ‘Start’ button (up arrow).
The timer will beep once the time has elapsed.
6. Remove the platform from the Cure L2.
NOTE:
Wear gloves when handling printed parts prior to
finishing. Handle the parts with care.
NOTE:
Printing with a damaged vat will cause failures
and leaks causing permanent damage to the
printer.
NOTE:
If you believe your printer’s screen may be
damaged, contact your supplier or visit the
support pages of the Photocentric website.
NOTE:
Observation of burrs or pickups on the platform
indicate that it will need to be sanded. The
sanding should be minimal to avoid degrading
the surface of the platform and its parallelism.
Photocentric recommends using 60 grit sanding
paper.
WARNING:
The print platform will be hot to the touch after
the curing process. It is important to wear heat-
resistant gloves when removing the platform from
the cure unit.
8.1 REMOVING PARTS FROM
THE PRINT PLATFORM
To remove parts from the print platform, Photocentric
recommends submerging the hot print platform into
cold water (thermal shocking) or manually removing
parts via cutting or scraping. The chosen method will
depend on the compatibility of the resin, accessibility
of supports, and contact area of the part to the
platform.
9.2 MAINTAINING
PRINT PLATFORM
After printed parts have been harvested, it is vital
that the print platform is cleaned thoroughly before
being used again.
1. If any Photocentric Resin Cleaner or residual resin
is left on the print platform, clean it off with a suitable
cleaning solvent and paper towel.
2. Cured resin should be removed from the platform
using the scraper provided.
9. HOUSEKEEPING
9.1 REMOVING RESIN FROM VAT
1. After printing, resin should be removed from the
vat to ensure there are no fragments of cured resin
before printing again or changing to a different resin
to print.
2. Take the resin bottle used for the previous print
and remove the cap.
3. Set up a funnel and filter in the neck of the bottle.
4. Carefully remove the resin vat from the printer.
5. Tilt the vat towards the corner with the pouring
spout and pour the resin through the filter and back
into the bottle, be careful not to allow the paper filter
to overflow.
6. Once most of the resin has poured away, use the
vat cleaning tool to guide the remaining resin to the
corner of the vat.
7. Clean off any resin drips on the outside of the vat
with paper towel.
8. Place vat on suitable clean, smooth surface (e.g.
vat cleaning foam mat).
9. Use paper towel to soak up the last of the resin in
the vat.
10. Use a small amount of suitable cleaning solvent
along with paper towel to clean the vat film and vat
walls. Dry them thoroughly.
11. Check for any fragments of cured resin remaining
on the vat film, dislodge them with care using the
soft spatula provided.
12. Give the outside of the vat a final clean and
check the film for signs of damage or wear, if you
have any doubt about the condition of the vat film,
refer to Section 10.1.
13. Check the screen of your Liquid Crystal Magna
for any sign of resin contamination or damage.
14. If resin is present, clean thoroughly using paper
towel, this is a sign that the film on the resin vat most
likely needs replacing.
15. Store the resin vat in the printer when not in use.
3.Ensure there is no cured resin blocking the holes
in the platform as this will affect future prints.
