You must clean the resin tray if:
- You believe the resin tray has foreign debris or partially cured material in it, and you do not believe a resin-tray cleaning has removed all the debris.
- You are using a different material in the same resin tray, according to the section Resin Tray Material Cross-Usage.
Every time you remove the resin tray for any reason, you should also inspect/clean the catch tray, as in the section Clean/Replace the Catch Tray.
NOTE: For ease of removing the resin tray, the elevator should be at its upper limit and the print platform should not be in the printer during this procedure. |
NOTE: Two iterations of this process tends to be enough for a fully cleaned resin tray. If you find that you need to repeat this process more than once, consider spending more time brushing the membrane/tray in Steps 6-8. |
NOTE: Avoid touching the bottom of the membrane during this procedure. If material is observed on this surface, spot clean with >90% alcohol solvent by squirting/pouring solvent on the area with uncured material. Finish by drying with compressed air. Do not touch Part-Cleaning Brush or any other tool to the bottom of the membrane. |

The resin tray can now be stored in the Resin-Tray Garage or be reinstalled in a printer, according to the section Resin-Tray Material Cross-Usage.
NOTE: Even though you have cleaned the tray of all material in this procedure, it is still necessary to store the resin tray via one of the methods below to ensure protection of the bottom and top of the resin tray. |

You can also store the resin tray in the printer with the cover from the garage on top, as seen below.

CAUTION: When covering the resin tray inside the printer, do NOT press down on the cover. The resin-tray membrane is sitting on the membrane lip while in the machine, meaning that even a small amount of pressure can damage the membrane. |
