| Instructions on Application of Modeling PAWW10 | Project date: 8/12/2024 | Version: V1.0 |
¶ Material Information
¶ Overview
Modeling PAWW10 is a gray, water-washable resin material with balanced performance such as high dimensional, performance and color stability, strong detail reproduction and construction performance, and low water sorption. It meets the needs of washing print parts without alcohol as a material with little odor and low viscosity that is water-washable and is easy to wash.
¶ Recommendations on Applications
General, figures, miniatures and so on. Ideal for users who are allergic to alcohol or scenarios with no alcohol.

Note: It's advised to use a “safer” parameter configurations and have some tests first, as HeyGears printers cannot guarantee a high printing success rate for models sliced with a third-party slicer software which does not enjoy HeyGears print strategies.
¶ Recommended Washing
| Material Cleaning Parameters | ||||
| Material | Cleaning device | Washing settings | Cleaning solutions | Washing time |
| PAWW10 | UltraCraft Wash | Rotation speed 180r/min | 95% alcohol | 2-min rough wash + 1-min fine wash |
| - | - | Wash | Rinse and wash for 3 min | |
Note 1: Rough wash refers to the behavior of washing off most liquid resin on the printed object with used alcohol (used for more than 3 batches of prints); Fine wash refers to the behavior of well cleaning details of the printed object with clean alcohol (used for less than 3 batches of prints).
Note 2: Washing finished, it's advised to blow dry the print with compressed air or bake it dry in a baker at 50℃ for 10min. Please AVOID submerging the print in alcohol for a long time (over 10 min in total), which might impact the resin's performance and the print's dimension.
¶ Recommended Curing
| Material Curing Parameters | ||||
| Material | Curing mode | Heat or not | Curing medium | Curing settings |
| PAWW10 | Rapid | No | Air | Room temperature for 20 min |
Note: Cure the print with HeyGears UltraCraft Cure. It’s advised to send the curing job from HeyGears Blueprint to the device first and then start curing on the device, as the job sent from Blueprint would enjoy a more advanced curing process and have an even better curing result.
¶ Operation Steps
¶ Slicing in Blueprint Studio
| Step 1: Enter Slicer in Blueprint Studio. | Step 2: Choose Modeling PAWW10. |
 |
 |
| Step 3: Import models in a new project by clicking Import icon or directly dragging models to the Studio. | Step 4: In the Prepare page, use Rotate, Scale, Hollow, Hole, Label, Duplicate and other tools based on your needs. |
 |
 |
| Step 5: Run Auto-layout. | Step 6: Run Auto-support, choose Truss support and generate supports. |
 |
 |
| Step 7: Run Slicing. You may edit the slice file name if needed. | Step 8: After slicing is done, you may check slice files and send print jobs at the [Slice Files] page |
 |
 |
¶ Printing and Post-processing
| Step 1: Send the slice files to your printer on Blueprint platform, or import them to your printer via USB flash drive. | Step 2: Printing. |
 |
 |
| Step 3: Washing. Set the washing settings on UltraCraft Wash or in Blueprint platform when sending wash jobs. | Step 4: Set the curing settings on UltraCraft Cure or on Blueprint platform when sending curing jobs. |

¶ Finishing
¶ Adding Supports
1.For models with large flat surface or thick wall, removing by hand will be fine (twisting off the support structures);

¶ Sanding & Spray-Coating
1.Sanding by hand
Most models can be polished with tools starting from 300-400 grit, to 600 grit, then 1000 grit. Polishing till 1000 grit is suggested for models to be coated. Models with thin walls are recommended to start from higher grit, such as 500-600, lowering the risk of damage.
Sanding by hand
2.Washing (Optional)
Wash off the dust from grinding with water first. Wipe off the dust until clean with microfiber cloth and IPA/95% alcohol.
3.Spray-coating
Dry the model prior to spraying, or the paint quality might be affected. Spray the model in a dust-free environment. Some UV coat might turn 3D-printed objects more crispy, so it's advised to have some tests in advance.

¶ Presentation of Finished Model
¶ Precautions
¶ Precautions & Warnings
1.Please make sure to keep on protective wear (protective gloves and goggles) during the process.
2.Please avoid direct contact with liquid resin or the print parts after curing, to prevent irritation to the eyes or skin (which might cause sensitization).
3.If the product gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and contact a doctor.
4.If the product contacts with your skin, rinse immediately with clean water and wash thoroughly with soap.
5.The product should only be used after training by qualified personnel.
6.After each use, please be sure to immediately close the bottle cap to keep the bottle sealed.
7.Before use, please shake the resin well and it’s recommended to stir the resin in the resin tank before printing, to ensure that there is no significant sediment of the color powder.
8.After pouring into the resin tank, the resin should be kept away from light. If not printed for 3 days, the resin should be filtered and poured back into the resin bottle, avoiding staying for more than 7 days in the resin tank to prevent moisture absorption and degradation, which could lead to print failures.
¶ Storage & Transportation
1.The product should be stored in an indoor environment with a temperature of 15°C ~ 28°C, free from corrosive gases, well-ventilated, and protected from high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
2.The product should be transported in an environment with a temperature of 0°C ~ 45°C, and during transportation, it should be protected from heavy pressure, direct sunlight, and exposure to rain or snow.
3.The shelf life of the product is 18 months.
¶ Disposal
Please refer to the MSDS for precise information. Liquid resin should not be directly discharged. Please allow it to be fully cured into a solid under sunlight before disposing of it according to local regulations.
