¶ Precautions before Use
① Shake the resin bottle/pack before use to ensure thorough mixing of the resin.
② Check if there are obvious wrinkles/damage on the resin vat release film. If so, replace the release film before use.
③ Inspect the LCD screen for any visible dirt/excess solid residue. Clean the screen thoroughly before starting the print.
④ If the resin has not been used in the 3D printer for more than 3 days, it is recommended to stir the resin in the vat, filter it through a funnel, and then pour it into the resin container.
¶ Storage Method
The storage method of 3D printing resin is crucial to maintaining its performance and quality. Here are some recommended storage methods:
¶ Avoid Direct Sunlight:
Store the resin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light can have a negative impact on the resin, leading to curing or performance degradation.
¶ Sealed Container:
Maintain the resin's seal by using a dedicated, airtight container. Moisture and oxygen in the air can potentially affect the resin.
¶ Temperature Control:
Resin storage temperature is typically recommended within a certain range to avoid excessively high or low temperatures. Most resins perform best within a temperature range of 5-28 degrees Celsius.
Please note that this is not the optimal printing temperature for resin.
¶ Avoid Chemicals:
Avoid storing resin near chemicals that may release harmful gases. Some chemicals may react with the resin, affecting its performance.
¶ Follow Manufacturer's Recommended Expiry:
Resins usually have a specified shelf life. Before use, check the expiration date on the resin container, and use it before the indicated date.
¶ Regular Stirring:
Some resins may experience layering or settling during storage. Before use, regularly stir or shake the resin container to ensure uniform mixing.
¶ Dust Prevention:
When using resin, keep the workspace clean to prevent dust, impurities, or other foreign objects from entering the resin.
