You must clean the resin tray if:
- You believe the resin tray has debris in it.
- You are using a new bottle of the same print material AND that bottle has a different batch number than the previous bottle.
CAUTION: Do NOT mix identical print materials from bottles with different batch numbers, as any issues with the material must be traceable to a specific batch number. Mixing batches makes this impossible to track.
- You are using a different print 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: The elevator must be at its upper limit and the print platform must 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 when soaked in >90% alcohol solvent. |
NOTE: Avoid touching the bottom of the membrane during this procedure. If resin is observed on this surface, spot clean with >90% alcohol solvent by squirting/pouring solvent on the area with uncured resin. Finish by drying with compressed air. Do not touch Part-Cleaning Brush or any other tool to the bottom of the membrane. |
