NOTE: The recommendation for max number of builds in the chart above is assuming builds of a medium width and height volume. If you have very dense builds with tall parts, the solvent baths may become saturated with a fewer number of builds. Always pay attention to build-surface tackiness and shininess, as this is an indication that uncured liquid material is still on the build. |
|
NOTE: For the first bath, it is okay to use solvent that has already been used to clean other parts. You may do this until the solvent becomes saturated. Then you must discard the dirty solvent according to all local, state, and federal regulations. |
|
NOTE: For FabPro branded materials: for the first bath, 3D Systems' EZ Rinse C solvent is also suitably effective. |
 |
TIP: The clean IPA that becomes saturated according to the number of builds in the chart above should then be used for the first ("dirty") IPA bath until the max number of builds has been reached again. |
