model and picker
(6) Do not expose the resin tank to direct light source because the resin will solidify under UV light.
Use tray to cover the resin tank to prevent solidify.
4.2 Cleaning the Picker
Use putty knife or similar object to scrape away the excess printed model on the picker. If any greasy
residue persists, use a soft cloth dipped in alcohol to rub the surface until the grease is removed.
4.3 Cleaning the resin tank
ee “Cleaning Tank” on page 13
Notifications:
- Do not shut down the power during curing
- Do not interrupt the firmware upgrade process. Any interruptions during the firmware upgrade process
may cause your printer to malfunction.
