 Description of the system:
-  * The system is comprised of the MiiCraft 3D printer, the connected desktop computer with the MiiUtility software, and the IPA bath and cleaning station in Fume Hood #4 a resin tank with a thin teflon bottom is placed over a glass projection window and clamped down to create a flat interface

   * A z-axis travelling build platform is lowered into the resin tank, where a fine layer of resin is cured through the teflon bottom using a DLP projector chip
   * After printing, the entire build plate is removed and placed in the FormWash station, an agitated IPA bath that will clean off excess resin

 =====How to Remove/Clean a Part=====
+  -At The Printer:
+    - Put on gloves and a lab coat. Retrieve a plastic transport container from the fume hood and line with an absorbent pad
+    - After the print has finished, allow several minutes for the excess resin to drip off the build tray into the resin tank
+    - Release the locking lever and carefully remove the build tray and place in the plastic transport Visually inspect the interior of the printer and wipe up any resin that may have accumulated on the exterior of the resin tank
+    - Replace the resin tank cover and close the printer door. This prolongs the life of the resin and prevents contamination or accidental curing
+    - Take the plastic transport container containing the build plate over to fume hood #4, being careful not to spill any resin. Immediately wipe up any spilled drops with IPA.
+  - At the Fume Hood:
+    - Open the FormWash IPA washing station (See resin wash SOP)
+    - Place the build plate with the part still attached into the basket
+    - Adjust the time settings to 20 minutes and start the cleaning cycle
+    - Once the cycle is completed, take out the build plate and remove the part over the absorbent pads in the fume hood.
+    - Place any contaminated waste in the yellow hazardous waste bin
+    - Clean the base with IPA to remove any resin and place in a clean transport container
+====How to Edit a Recipe:=====
+  - Let’s say you want to use a different layer thickness and therefore need a different recipe. Open up the MiiPrinter window and click the edit icon to open a new window. Click the duplicate window and rename it with the resin and the layer thickness. Adjust the settings in the menu and save to create a new recipe.
+====Accident Response====
+**Accident:** A user leaves a build tray or foreign object inside the printer when starting a
+print. \\
+**Printer Response:** A mechanical error warning displays on screen. Printer is not responsive to
+computer commands and requires a hard reboot \\
+**Solution:**
+  - Press and hold power button for 2 seconds, then release.
+  - A dialogue on the printer window will appear asking if you wish to power down. Press and hold power button for 2 more seconds to completely power off machine.
+  - Wait 60 seconds, and then press power button to start the machine. This will initiate an automatic homing process that will raise the build platform to the top of the printer enclosure.
+  - Remove obstructions and refresh computer connection in MiiController Window
+**Accident:** Scratching glass projection plate or Teflon surface of the resin tank \\
+**Printer Response:** Print Quality is poor \\
+**Solution:**
+  - Replace build tank
+**Accident:** Build tray is not installed \\
+**Printer Response:** New prints will not start, build platform stand immersed in resin. \\
+**Solution:**
+**Accident:** Chemical spill of IPA or toxic resin \\
+**Solution:**
