If you choose to use the removable build plate keep in mind that you want to orient the parts so that the
part does not collapse when powder flows out from the sides of the part after the removable build plate
is lifted from the build bed.

Although the part can be handled when it is not completely dried, the part reaches full strength when
dried. Placing the part in an oven at temperatures less than 200
°
F (93 o C) for 2-4 hours will dramatically
increase the strength of the part. This is only recommended for plaster-based powders. If using the
removable build plate, remove the part from the removable build plate before placing in the oven.

Always infiltrate the most delicate features of the part first. Z-Bond resin gives almost immediate strength
to the area of the part that has been infiltrated. As you handle the areas of the part that have been
infiltrated it will be less likely to break it.
•
Try to avoid infiltrating the part by applying Z-Bond resin from spot to spot. Pick a good starting place
and hold that area upward relative to the rest of the part. With your free hand, place the tip of the Z-
Bond bottle against the part and allow the cyanoacrylate (CA) to flow from the bottle. It is important that
the CA flows at a uniform rate making it easier for you the judge how quickly it will flow from the tip of the
bottle before it wicks into the part. By seeing how quickly it wicks into the part you will be able to judge
where and how quickly to move the tip of the bottle while applying the CA, being sure not to apply the CA
to the same place more than once.

•
If the part has delicate features, infiltrate them last as the feature will be less strong after being infiltrated
until the epoxy begins to cure. This will decrease the chance the feature will break from the part if
nudged or bumped.
•
If the part has multiple delicate features or it is impossible to handle the part without breaking a feature
you may infiltrate these features only. Allow the Z-Max and Z-Snap epoxy to cure. Then infiltrate the rest
of the part. This will add time to post-processing the part but it ensures that you have a good strong part
without any fractures.
