Hello...

Use the provided power cable to plug your printer into
a surge protector or uninterrupted power supply.
Pro automatically goes to sleep to save energy after
a period of inactivity. Interaction with the touchscreen
or sending a print job will reactivate it.
Use the power switch if you need to perform a hard
reset or disconnect your Pro from its power source.
To minimize cleanup,
always remove the
platform before removing
your resin tank.

Prepare a Print Job
Ensure Your Pro is Ready
Install resin tank and build platform in their places.
It is extremely important to make sure both the build
platform and resin tank are fully secured and locked
before you start a print.
Refer to steps 5-7 to ensure your equipment is ready
before starting the print.
Get Software Download SprintRay Software from sprintray.com/software
Using Desktop Software to Prepare a Print
After launching SprintRay Software, begin by selecting your
printing material and the desired layer thickness. Next, import
your STL model, orient the model, and add supports if
necessary. If you are new to 3D printing, consult our website
and full user manual for more detailed information.
The model is now ready for printing. Now that everything is
set on the software side, follow the below instructions to
prepare your Pro printer.
Make sure your printer and your computer are both connected
to the same wireless network.
Once you've prepared both the software and hardware for your
print, click on the printer icon in SprintRay Software.
The software will process the job and send it to your printer.
The build platform should slowly descend into the resin tank.
Once this has happened, the print process has begun.
Your printer runs independently once it begins its print process.
Any changes to your network or computer will not effect print
progress as long as Pro maintains power.
Note: It's very important to ensure that the lid remains closed
during the entire print cycle.

Fill the Resin Tank
Before you pour resin into your Pro’s tank, it is
important to shake the bottle until it is
thoroughly mixed.
When starting a print, the desktop software or
touchscreen of your Pro will display the resin
level necessary for the planned job.
Fill the tank to the suggested level, ensuring
even distribution of the resin across the tank.
Close the lid of the printer or cover the resin
tank at all times to minimize light exposure.

Maintenance
Finishing a Print Job
Wash and Air Dry
Use IPA 91% to wash the parts. To ensure complete
cleanliness, the washing process can be repeated.
Post Curing
Depending on the material specifications
and FDA requirements, you may need to
post-cure the printed part after wash.
Please refer to the application guides to
complete the post-curing.
SprintRay ProCure
You can use presets on
SprintRay ProCure to complete
post-curing process.
SprintRay ProCure is sold
separately.
Resin Tank Inspection
Gently drag the resin wiper across the surface of the tank to
ensure there are no hard particles in the tank.
Cleaning the Printer
Use the cleaning cloth provided with the
printer to clean the glass on the printer.
Clean the printer with a soft damp cloth.
Resin Care
Cured resin can be discarded as regular trash. Never dispose of
liquid resin in your sink or other plumbing.
Resin should not be left out of the bottle for more than three days.
If it has been exposed to air for less than three days, it is safe to
pour it back into the bottle through a paper filter or loose mesh.
Mixing Resin Before Print
If you keep resin in the tank between jobs, use the resin wiper to
mix the tank before every print.
Inspect resin tank
with resin wiper.
Removing Prints from Print Platform
Note: We recommend wearing gloves in order to complete this step.
When the print job is complete and the build arm has fully raised,
remove the platform and place it on a flat surface.
Using the provided print removal tool, detach the part from print
platform. Using the clipping tool, remove the supports from your part.
