Print parts are damaged after wash
¶ Potential reason ①: Support structures are removed before washing. Some print parts are fragile before curing, and they are crashed and damaged during washing.
Solution: It’s recommended to remove supports after washing. Additionally, you may consider to wash a whole batch of print parts together or add protective casing during pre-processing.

¶ Potential reason ②: Not carefully enough when placing in or taking out print parts. Print parts are brittle generally before curing.
Solution: Always be gentle and careful during post processing.
¶ Potential reason ③: Rotation speed is too high during washing (higher than acceptable speed for the print material) and print parts crash into each other or the washing box wall.
Solution: It's advised to wash using the rotation speed recommended in HeyGears documentations such as User Guide and Complete Procedures. Recommended speed for print parts with structures: 160 rad/min, and speed without structures: 100 rad/min.
¶ Potential reason ④: Print parts are submerged in cleaning agent for too long and are dissolved.
Solution: Follow HeyGears documentations such as User Guide and Complete Procedures. AVOID submerging print parts in cleaning agent for long. Washing time is usually within 10 min.
