How this type of printer Works
An LCD based resin printer uses an LCD screen to mask the shape of a layer of your
model one layer at a time while using UV lights to cure the resin. Between layers, the
printer will lift the print and return it one layer higher than previously. This process is
repeated layer by layer to shape the object over time.

Troubleshooting
1) If the print finishes and there is nothing on the build plate there are 3 potential
reasons:
a) The first layers did not cure enough and the print has fallen off of the build
plate. Increase the base cure time. For Malyan resin, 60 seconds for the base cure
time will work. Other resins may require different amounts of curing time.
b) The platform did not level correctly. Verify that there are no small particles of
previous prints in the resin vat, as this will disrupt the leveling process. Keeping the
resin vat clear of small pieces of cured resin is a necessity.
c) On the Control Interface, run the “clear” function without the resin vat to verify
that the LCD screen on the machine is turning on and off.
2) If the first few layers have adhered, but the remainder of the model is missing:
a) The cure time for your resin is not long enough. The model likely fell into the
vat and it will be necessary to remove it before attempting to print again.
b) You have not supported the piece properly. If the print is held in place by
supports, you may need to add more supports to overcome the weight of the object as
its printing.
*Please note that you must keep the vat clear of particles and partially cured resin.
When this error occurs, it is not uncommon for cured resin to stick to the FEP lining in
the bottom of your vat. Best practice to clearing this type of obstruction:
I) Use the provided hex key to undo the two screws on the left and right hand side of
the resin vat.
II) Remove the resin from the vat into a separate container. We recommend a new,
empty container and strongly against pouring resin from the vat into the original resin
bottle as this can result in small pieces of cured resin to contaminate the otherwise
clean resin.
III) Use a plastic spatula, plastic tweezers, or expired banking card to gently peel the
resin from the FEP lining. Take care, as the FEP lining is thin and can be torn if
approached too aggressively.

12
IV) This moment can be used to clean the resin vat, but it is not necessary. Remove
any remaining pieces of cured resin from the vat, and reinstall it onto the printer.
When printing the first few layers, you can click the "Pause" button to raise the print
platform, so that it will be easy to observe whether the first layer adherence to the
platform. if there is no problem, click the "Continue" button to continue printing, if there
is nothing on the build plate, stop the print and try the previous troubleshooting steps
to prevent wasting time and resin. Be sure to clear the vat of any cured resin before
starting again.
If a part of the model is on the platform and the other part is at the bottom of the vat,
you may need to increase exposure time, or increase the lift height giving the resin
more time to flow.
Model deformation or having no details can be solved by shortening the exposure
time or by adding a solid color paste or reducing the print layer.
Model Cleaning
Once the print is finished, remove the platform and use a metal putty knife or
spatula to remove the print from the platform.
After removing the print from the build platform, use a spare container with
Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the print by submerging in the alcohol and shaking
vigorously for a short period of time. An ultrasonic cleaner can also be used for this
process.
Cleaning time should not be more than 5 minutes. If too long, details on the model
will soften and the model surface will begin to whiten. The smaller details in the final
print, the shorter the cleaning time should be.
Once cleaned, set the print in a sunny location or under UV light. Curing times will
depend on the resin you are using.
During the cleaning process, if you use a soft brush to clean, the surface will be
smoother.

About Resins
Resin storage
Resins should be kept in the dark and ventilated place, storage temperature:
20°C-30°C, lower temperature can extend the shelf life, the official resin shelf life is
one year.
Resin operation
When operating, please wear gloves and avoid direct contact as possible. Cured resin
is safe to be handled without gloves. If exposed to skin, wash the exposed location
promptly. Printed models should not be used for food applications.
Safety and Resin
There are many types of resin and many manufacturers on the market. Because of
this, this section is to serve as general best practices to be aware of when working
with resin:
Wear gloves when working with uncured resin.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not drink or eat the resin.
Safety glasses are recommended (splashing can happen to anybody).
Most manufacturers will have a safety data sheet available, and it is recommended to
research the resin you will be working with.
Transferring Resin to Storage
When you use resin, small bits can be cured unintentionally. For this reason, we do
not recommend mixing resin that has been used back into the original bottle of resin.
Doing so may result in unintended flecks of cured resin which can lead to unintended
print defects. You can filter the resin through a sift or fine mesh to get those bits and
pieces removed.
That being said, we recommend storing resins that have been used into a separate
container. Ideally the container is black, and should have a lid. The container should
be stored in a dark, ventilated place to prevent curing while being stored.
Discarding Resin
Before discarding resin, it should be cured fully. A clear, disposable cup can be very

14
useful to cure unwanted resin prior to throwing it away.
Tips
1. Check the resin box and platform before printing ensure they are clean.
2. After taking out the model, remember to cover the lid to prevent the resin curing.
3. After finish printing, you can keep the resin in other container or in the resin box.
After using, the storage period of resin will be correspondingly shorter, and need to
run out as soon as possible, add fresh resin can effectively improve the shelf life of the
resin.
4. If the print fails, and the model sticks to the bottom of the vat, refer to the print
failure section on how to remove.
WEB Slicer
Pleas click the “Slicer” button to enter the WEB slicer
1.Upload the STL file. You can also drag and drop into the slicer on the Web UI.

Creation Workshop Tutorial
Here we introduce the settings and slicing steps.
Run the "Creation Workshop" program in the "Creation Workshop" folder.
Import model (support STL, OBJ format)
Save in the Creation Workshop format
Slice button

16
After importing the model, you can add support as needed.
Click the to open the support option, click where you need to add the
support,then the support can automatically generate.
The other two buttons are (bottom support) and (automatic support).
The thickness of support can be adjusted, the top must not be less than 0.25MM, the
root not less than 0.6MM.
If you model by using PRO/E and CREO, FRONT face is the "bottom" of the model
instead of TOP.
The imported model may differ in size and location from the print area and can be
adjusted by the property bar on the right side of the control center.
Among the above function, "Move (mm)" comes with three small features, you can
easily locate the model quickly.
These three functions are “Fit the base” (hope that you press the button before each
cut, because some models are not fit the base); "XYZ axis absolute in the middle" and
"model in the middle".

17
"Enable Slice Out lines" is the feather value option (set the value, the more the more
smooth), feather rate can reduce the model pixel pattern. The general value of 3 or
more, can effectively alleviate.
"Slice Thickness (mm)" setting range: 0.02-0.1mm.the default is 0.05mm, the smaller
the thickness is, the higher the accuracy will be, and more time the printing will need.
Exposure time can be reduced if the layer thickness is smaller.
“Exposure time (ms)”can be set according to the actual situation. Default 15 seconds,
print smaller and simple structure model can reach up to 3 seconds. If the details of
the print cannot be showed during the printing, then increase the single exposure time.
For some models with holes, the shorter curing time will be better. While for models
with smaller columns, the longer the curing time is, the better effect will be.
“Bottom exposure (ms)” default 60 seconds, when printing smaller and simple
structure model, it just need 5 seconds to stick to the platform in some cases.
Increase the exposure time if the model cannot stick to the platform. The longer the
exposure time is, the more tightly the base will stick.
"Z-axis lift distance (mm)" can beset according to the model size, if the area is too
large but the lifting height is low, the resin cannot be returned to the middle of the
model, resulting in bubble in the middle part, defect or print failure----just raise the

18
height of the Z-axis table.
"Z-axis lift s peed (mm/m)" default setting: 100mm/m, the setting range is
recommended between 50-150mm/m.
"Z-axis retraction s peed (mm/m)" default setting: 100mm/m, the setting range is
recommended between 100-150mm/m.
Note: Remember to click the “Apply Changes” button to take effect after your setting is
completed.
If Print Size has a slight deviation from the actual size, you can change the display
size; correct the print size by adjusting the XY value of the “Build Size (mm)”
Note: Remember to click the “Apply Changes” button to take effect after your setting is
completed.
Model Slicing Steps
1. Import the model that needs to be printed.
2. Edit the model.
3. Save the model.
4. Start slicing.

5.
Copy the CWS file into the SD card or send the file over the network, then you can
print the model you need.
