You are now ready to cure your printed parts. There are two ways to do this:
- Cure the part on the print platform.
- Cure the part on the shelving unit.
For either method, use the following guidelines:
- Ensure that the green part does not touch the UV lamps as you are inserting it in the machine. If any uncured resin transfers to a UV lamp, this material will cure on the lamp, causing it to be less effective in curing future parts.
- Ensure that the green part is not resting against anything in the machine, such as the shelving unit, a UV lamp, or inside wall. Your part should be cured in a position in which it is self-supporting.
- Keep in mind that removing cured supports from a part, and removing cured material from the print platform, is considerable more difficult than doing this while everything is uncured. So only cure on the platform if absolutely necessary to stay in line with the other guidelines above.
Cure the Part on the Print Platform
You may want to keep your part on the print platform for curing if:
- The part is taller than 200 mm
- The part's shape prevents it from standing freely on the shelving unit without touching the shelf frame or any UV lamps
