Resin Printer Cleanup Procedures

WARNING! Uncured resin is harmful! Uncured resin should not be thrown away or sent down any drain.

~~asdfasf~~WARNING! You must always wear gloves, a mask, and eye protection when working with uncured resin.

After finishing a print, whether successful or unsuccessful, the resin 3D printer and tools must be properly cleaned. All waste materials must be safely and properly saved or discarded.

Waste materials may include

Failed prints

Printed Support Structures

Resin-soaked paper towels

Water with resin in it

Step 1: Cleaning the Print

First, you should remove the 3D print (whether successful or not) from the printer base plate. Some prints may be challenging to remove. Do not force the print off the plate. You should work carefully and slowly, to avoid damage to the base plate or the print.

Hot water can be used to soften the printed resin and make the print easier to remove, but this water should not go down the drain. If a print sticks excessively to the plate, you may need to adjust your print settings.

It is always preferrable to damage your print rather than damaging the printer base plate.

Once the print is removed from the base plate, it will require additional clean-up to ensure quality. You should remove all supports using hand tools. Then either:

Use the cleaning station (preferred) to automatically clean the print and collect uncured resin. Cleaning water can remain in the cleaning station for multiple prints before being properly disposed of.

Hand-clean the print using the provided "toothbrush" tool. Use water for water-based resin or alcohol for alcohol-based resin. You must hand clean the print in a separate basin (not the sink) so that uncured resin does not go down the drain.
