PREPARE DUPLICATOR 7 FOR PRINTING
Place vat on top of the LCD screen and tighten both
Z brackets. If you over-tighten it too much the LCD
screen will go temporarily white. The vat
should not be able to be lifted at all.
7Side the platform onto the platform arm.
8
Tighten the central knob and loosen the four
screws at the sides so the platform can move freely
up and down.

NOTE: ensure the two side knobs are completely free when
lowering the platform to avoid damage to the screen.
Place the hood back onto the printer

Now click on the “Control” tab. Press the “Home” button to lower the
platform onto the screen. The platform will move down to be set on the
screen (level 0 in Z axis.) and stop.

at the side. All 4 screws should now be tight. You can check that you have homed the platform correctly by 11.visual checking
there’s no space between the LCD screen and the build platform. Now turn the screen off before ll the vat with resin. Prints
don't consume a lot of resin, a quarter full vat is enough for a medium sized print.
12
NOTE: Don’t push the build platform too hard
to avoid breaking the LCD screen. Make sure the
platform touching the screen is sufcient.
NOTE:once started, the print can’t be paused and relled
so it's safer to over-ll and reuse the resin.

under the platform, move the platform back to home by clicking the -1 step button 10 times, leave a few seconds

CLEANING AND FINISHING THE PRODUCT
In the “Control” panel lift the platform so that the base of your object is clear of the top of the vat. Lift off the hood and wearing
gloves loosen the two side knobs and tilt the platform back, place the hood back and allow the resin to run off the platform
into the vat for a few minutes. Lift the hood, loosen the middle knob and with absorbent paper under it, remove the platform
completely and set it down on a surface that will not be affected by resin. Place the hood back on immediately to protect the
resin in the vat from light. Remove as much liquid from the platform and object as possible with the paper. Waste paper can be
left in the sunlight for a few minutes to harden and then be disposed of.

PROCESS FOR ALCOHOL WASHABLE UV RESIN
16
Place the platform to a washing-up bowl. Remove the objects by sliding the scraper in at their base.
Wash off any liquid polymer in alcohol container. You can gently clean it with a soft brush or sponge,
take care not to damage it, it will not achieve full hardness until after post exposing in light. An
ultrasonic cleaner will clean your objects without the possibility of damaging them.
Check your object is thoroughly clean as resin cannot be easily removed afterwards and then
leave it under water in sunlight for about 10 minutes. The longer you leave it under water the
darker the colour will get, some colour change is inevitable. When it is completely post-exposed
it will be strong and have a dry surface. Empty the contents of the vat back into the bottle by
pouring through a sieve.With the vat on a at surface wipe the inside thoroughly with absorbent
paper.Replace the lm when damaged.
