Nebulizer:
The nebulizer cartridge is where liquid alcohol from the reservoir is
turned into a fine aerosol that polishes your printed part. Inside the cartridge is a
micromachined metal disc that vibrates hundreds of thousands of times per second. A
sponge wick conducts the liquid solvent to the disc. The nebulizer unit can be removed
by gently pulling up. To insert a replacement nebulizer, align the pins and gently press
down.

comes with two reservoir covers. One for use during
operation with slots (“grate” style) to allow alcohol to flow through. The other is for use
during storage to minimize alcohol evaporation.

chamber casing to ensure that it sits properly on the Polysher
TM

Priming the Nebulizer:
To prime your nebulizer, suck some alcohol into the pipette.
Then squeeze 5-10 drops of alcohol on the nebulizer membrane using the priming
pipette to ensure the wicking sponge and nebulizer are saturated. Prime the nebulizer
when using the Polysher
TM
for the first time, or if the reservoir and the nebulizer have
run dry.
