| + | - Use **auto placement** to allow the printer software to attempt to optimize orientation and part location. Fine tuning by hand may be necessary for best results. | ||
| + | - Keeping the part within the horizontal lines outlined on the build platform can reduce the number of passes the print heads must make per layer | ||
| + | - Orientating the part to reduce Z height often greatly reduces print time | ||
| + | - Glossy surfaces can only be printed along the top surface of the part where there are **NO** overhangs | ||

| - | - Clean your parts in the water jet cleaner | ||
| + | ====Post Processing==== | ||
| + | - Take the part to the 3D print cleaning station by the pressure washer and remove the bulk of the support material with the cleaning implements. **Wear gloves as uncured resin may be on the surface of the part** | ||
| + | - Place part within the pressure washer and open the DI valve on the sink. The power switch is located on the back of the washing enclosure. | ||
| + | - Using the foot pedal clean the part using the high pressure nozzles located within the enclosure | ||
| + | - After part has been cleaned ensure the water is **Switched Off** as leaks have occured within Elings hall before and **will damage equipment** | ||
| + | - To achieve optimal mechanical properties or if part is to be used as a mold for casting part should be baked at 60 degrees C for a minimum of 4 hours | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Maintenance==== | ||
| + | * Print heads and roller should be cleaned after EVERY print | ||
| + | * Build tray should be scraped free of debris and wiped with wet paper towel after EVERY print | ||
| + | * Printer should be restarted once every week or whenever printer is misbehaving. | ||
| + | * Head alignment and patterning should be done every month or so to ensure printer accuracy | ||
| + | * Waste resin container should be sealed, placed in hazardous chemical waste, and replaced as necessary | ||
