¶ 3. Maintenance
¶ 1.Resin Replacement
- Remove the resin bottle
- Lift the resin bottle and hold it for 3 - 4 seconds.
- Then use a lint-free cloth to hold the bottle mouth.
- Clean the resin-refill lid (users who use the refill lid of a new resin bottle need to clean the resin-refill lid thoroughly when replacing the resin)
- Remove the resin-refill lid on the resin bottle, and use the cap to tighten and seal it.
- Place the resin-refill lid into the cleaning box, set the UltraCraft Wash to 1 minute at 180 revolutions per minute, and start the cleaning process.
 |
 |
- After washing step, take out the resin-refill lid, use a lint-free cloth to press and wipe the ball valve in the resin-refill lid, and then wipe the internal threads of the resin-refill lid.
 |
 |
-
After wiping off the residual resin, place the resin-refill lid back into the UltraCraft Wash for a 1-minute, 180r/min cleaning.
-
After washing, use an air gun to blow dry the residual cleaner.
|
 |
-
Check if it is clean and free of resin residue; if necessary, repeat the above steps for cleaning.
-
Install the cleaned resin-refill lid onto the resin bottle that needs to be used.
¶ 2. LCD Screen Cleaning
¶ 2.1 Cleaning Scraper:
-
Prepare a cleaning container with dimensions approximately 215mm x 145mm (it only needs to be larger than the length of the scraper)
