Figure 4 MED-AMB 10

General best practices apply.
To avoid chipping printed part during post processing, do not support part too close to its edges in 3D Sprint.
To avoid areas of color differences on your parts, space parts well in LC-3DPrint Box to avoid parts casting shadows on each other.

General best practices apply
To avoid chipping printed part during post processing, do not support part too close to its edges in 3D Sprint.
For best results use the Resin Mixer to gently stir between prints and after the print material has been sitting overnight.

CAUTION: Do NOT press down on the film when stirring.
Must keep clean bath of IPA to reduce color changing. Best to keep white material separate form other material to avoid color contamination
White pigment is very difficult to clean off print platforms. Soak print platforms in solvent, and then wipe with solvent-wetted towels.

Before Pouring

New bottle - Hand-shake for 5 mins., then place on LC-3DMixer for 2.5 hr.

After 1st use - Hand-shake for 5 mins., then place on LC-3DMixer for 1 hr.

Figure 4 RUBBER-BLK 10

General best practices apply.
Material is soft when green. You must orient it in 3D Sprint to allow for the maximum number of support locations.
Tall parts (>100 mm) print best at 30 µm layer thickness.
Take care when handling green parts due to their flexible nature.
IPA does not dissolve this material. Propylene Carbonate must be used when cleaning printed parts. IPA should only be used as a final rinse.
Parts can be sticky until post cured.

Figure 4™ FLEX BLK 10

General best practices apply.
Orient part in 3D Sprint to such that flat surfaces are not parallel with the print platform. Flat surfaces may show more support scarring than other Figure 4 materials.

Figure 4 EGGSHELL-AMB 10

General best practices apply.
When using parts to create injection molds, keep supports on the part to hold it steady during injection and current process of silicones.
There are many commercial silicone and RTV materials used for eggshell molding. Use the following during post-processing with EGGSHELL-AMB 10 to improve any inhibition issues:
1. When cleaning parts, use acetone instead of IPA, following the same cleaning instructions for IPA from the Post-Processing Guide. Follow all SDS and safety precautions when using any solvent for cleaning parts.
2. Dry parts in an oven at 60°C (140°F) for one hour before post curing.
3. Post-cure parts for 180 minutes.
4. Reheat parts for one hour at 100°C (212°F).
5. Cure injected materials at an elevated temperature, such as 60°C (140°F), for one hour if material allows.
6. Clean parts with soapy water after post-curing. Dry parts thoroughly.

Manually check support locations in 3D Sprint before printing.
In thicker cross sections for large rings or non-ring geometries, go up in cure depth to avoid delamination between layers. Go up in 10 µm increments to prevent over curing features.
For full platforms and parts with cross sectional areas, print quality is best in Premium mode. Or add 1-2 seconds to slow down the Interval Pause Time and the Interval Down Time in the Build Style by an extra 1-2 seconds.
If positive features have poor resolution, the Border Thickness parameter in the build style could be increased up to 20%. It is not suggested to go higher, or negative features might get closed or too small.
If detail is blurry, verify proper cleaning method. Ensure cleaning solvents are not saturated and parts are allowed to dry before post curing.
If detailing is still blurred, lower cure depth in 10 µm increments.
If detail remains an issue, or accuracy is hard to achieve, run the accuracy wizard for this build style.
Make sure all IPA has evaporated off after part cleaning, and allow for parts to dry completely. If surface finish is still shiny (not matte) after cleaning, not all print material has been removed and it will show up in the casting. Repeat cleaning and drying until parts do not have any excess material.
