INTRODUCTION
SAFETY WARNINGS
This information is intended to protect your safety and prevent property damage.
Please be aware of the precautions before using, to prevent serious injuries and printer damage.
When printing, put the printer in a well-ventilated place because resin may smell.
Do not use volatile objects near the printer as they may cause fire or explosion.
There are potential risks to the printer in terms of chemical composition and voltage.
To prevent injury on children and pets, please install the printer in a safe place.
The warranty benefits of the printer will be forfeited if disassembled or modified artificially.
Carima will not be held liable for the loss caused by this.
For inquiries regarding “After Sale Service” and product warranty, please contact Carima.
Setting up a printer in a place with a lot of moisture or temperature changes can cause deformation
and malfunction of the product.
When moving the printer, be sure to completely shut down the printer, and then remove the vat and
build plate so that the resin in the vat does not overflow or leak.
If the printer power cable and USB cable are damaged due to being pulled or stepped on the rough
surface, please note that sparking or voltage malfunction may occur.
In addition, there is a risk of fire due to overheating when the power is turned off.
Do not turn the power switch off, located on the back of the printer, when the printer is on.
A forced shut down shortens the life of the printer engine and can cause mechanical failure.
Use the ‘Power Off’ or the ‘Auto Shut Down’ button to turn the printer off.
If metal fragments and other types of liquid leaks into the printer, it may cause mechanical
malfunction. Also, operating the printer with wet hands may cause electric shock. Use protective
equipment while using the printer.
* Latex rubber gloves can also be used in place of the nitrile gloves provided.

PREPARATION AND SETUP
Preparation and
Setup
PRINTING PREPARATION
To start printing, you must first prepare the
materials. Materials include resin vat, resin, and build
plate.
Use protective equipment when using resin.
Pour resin before printing and on inevitable
occasions, press the 'Pause' button and wait
for a complete stop before slowly pouring
the resin into the vat. Adding the resin during
output can cause bubbles and adversely affect
the print.
The FEP film may tear or loosen during
output. In this case, replace it with a new
one to prevent resin leakage. It may get
scratched due to user carelessness or by
hardened outputs. Be aware, for it may
occur in short-term use.
Clean the build plate by scraping it off
with a scraper or by wiping with alcohol.
Thoroughly wipe the resin off before using
a different resin.
The lifespan of the optical engine lamp is
20,000 hours. When it exceeds 20,000
hours, the brightness of the lamp may
decrease. Once it exceeds its usage time,
improve the quality of the output by
replacing it with a new lamp.
Align the detached vat and fasten it to
the vat retention knob.
Fasten the plate to the build plate fixing base
and to the module with the fixing fin.
Pour the resin into the resin vat.
Scratching the FEP film with sharp scrapers
or cutters will tear and contaminate the
engine room due to leakage of resin.
* Build plate, vat, FEP film, etc. are accessories.
To purchase additional accessories, contact Carima.

POST-PROCESSING
After removing the output, post-processing such as washing, drying, removing the supporters and
curing has to take place. Wear nitrile gloves and remove the prints.
The resin remains when the output is completed. The remaining resin can be cleaned with
alcohol(IPA, 95% or higher). The higher the alcohol concentration, better the wash.
For detailed wash, use thin brush to remove resins.
Use eco-friendly detergent or water when using Carima's Nontoxic resin(CMYK/W).
* Washing can be done through soaking the outprint in alcohol or by using a sprayer with
alcohol. Be aware, for the output should not be in alcohol for more than an hour.
* Use protective equipment when using toxic alcohol(IPA).
