Post-process

Post-Process Your Prints

To prepare the objects for the perfect functioning, please follow below instructions:

Remove support structures

Use pliers or other tools to remove the support structure from the cleaned prints to ensure perfect finish.

Empty uncured resin Inside the prints

Hollow prints with uncured resin inside may break as time passes. To ensure the durability of hollow prints, leave a weep hole at the bottom of your 3D design, so you can empty the uncured resin easily.

Post-cure the prints

The post curing process increases the hardness and durability of the printed products.

Resin Tank Cleanup

To remove any residue stuck to the bottom of the resin tank, clean the tank level sensor covered resin, or to clean the tank thoroughly, follow the procedure for cleaning:

Empty the tank

Pour uncured resin in the tank into a clean container. For remaining resin, scrape the surface of the tank gently while pouring the liquid out.

Clean the tank bottom

Scrape off the residue stuck on the tank gently. Avoid damaging the silicon finish.

Clean the tank level sensor

Clean the tank level sensor if it gets stuck. Rinse the sensor with alcohol, or brush it with a soft-bristled brush gently.

Alcohol-bath the tank

Spray alcohol on the tank and the silicon finish, and wait for around 1 minute. Gently scrape residue and pour remaining alcohol left in the tank into the waste bin. Repeat these steps until all residue has been removed.

Dry the tank

The wall of the tank may leave white marks after washed with Alcohol. Wipe the wall of the tank with a lint-free cloth.

As to the bottom of the tank, you can wait until the alcohol evaporates completely.

Note
Replace the tank when it is impossible to remove the cured residues in the tank.

 

Object Removal & Cleaning

Printed Object Removal and Cleaning

When removing prints from the printer, follow the procedure to post-process the object and maintain your printer.

Remove the platform

Wear gloves before removing the prints. Turn the platform locker counterclockwise until it stops. And pull the platform to remove it.

Note:
Always remove the platform before removing the resin tank to avoid dripping leftover material on printer surface.

Use the scraper to remove the prints

Rinse

Rinse parts in ≧75% Alcohol. Pour alcohol into the rinse basket, shake the print for 10 minutes, then rub it with your fingers thoroughly.

Cleanup and reinstall

Remove any residue in the resin tank. Operate gently to avoid scratching the surface of the resin tank. Reinstall the resin tank after cleaning.
Scrap off any residue and remove excess resin from the surface of the platform. Turn the platform locker clockwise until it stops when reinstalling
it to the printer.
Uncured resin in the tank can be left for future printing. To prevent dust from accumulating on the resin, always cover the lid over the printer after removing any residue from the tank or the platform.

Note:
Place the printer away from direct sunlight or UV lighting, even if the lid is covered, or resin in tank may cure and solidify.

Estrutura de suporte

A estrutura de suporte é necessária para saliências. Ela impede a queda e a deformação devido à força durante a impressão e aumenta a aderência do modelo à plataforma.

4 modos de geração de suporte estão disponíveis na XYZware_Nobel.

Clique nos títulos a seguir para ler mais instruções sobre cada modo.

 Modo Auto: o software é capaz de analisar as características do modelo e adicionar estruturas de suporte onde necessário.
 Modo Manual: é possível acrescentar ou excluir manualmente estruturas de suporte com base nas características da impressão.
 Suporte cônico: um modo de edição manual para gerar suportes mais espessos que os suportes originais.
 Suporte em árvore: os suportes em árvore conectam-se a seus objetos 3D com um contato muito pequeno.

Dica
» Você pode gerar suportes automaticamente com o XYZware_Nobel e depois adicionar/excluir a estrutura de suporte com base na sua experiência de impressão. Use as duas funções de ajuda para garantir o sucesso da impressão, além de poder diminuir o consumo de resina e encurtar o tempo de impressão. 
» Depois que as estruturas de suporte forem configuradas, você pode salvar o objeto no formato .3ws. Com esse formato de arquivo, você pode reajustar o layout dos suportes.
Observação
» Se o objeto for deslocado verticalmente ou redimensionado, a estrutura de suporte será reiniciada. Configure os suportes novamente.

– Do not place the printer in humid or dusty environments such as bathrooms and high traffic areas.
– Some components of the printer move during operation. Do not attempt to touch or change anything inside before powering off the printer.
– Please keep the lid closed during printing to avoid injury.
– This printer is a Class 1 Laser Product. A Class 3B laser module is used as a light source. Never disassemble the product.
– For optimized printing quality, only use resin supplied by XYZprinting.
– Make sure to set the power switch to the off position and remove the power cord before transporting the device.
– Only use the grounded power adapter and power cord supplied with the printer to prevent possible electrical shocking.
– Please place and use the printer in a well ventilated area. The process of printing will produce a small amount of non-toxic odor. Having a well ventilated area will ensure a more comfortable environment.

Resin Care

– Wear proper protective equipment, avoid raw material contact and vapor inhalation.
– Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn when you make contact with resin.
– Avoid exposing resin to high temperatures, localized heat sources (i.e., drum or band heaters), oxidizing conditions, freezing conditions, direct sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, inert gas blanketing.
– Never pour the waste resin back to the bottle or down the sink, as it may pollute the remaining resin or clog the drain.
– You may pour resin waste into plastic bag and expose it to sunlight or UV light source to cure the resin. The cured resin can then be discarded.
– Avoid dripping resin on anything other than the platform or the resin tank, or the printer may malfunction.
– The stability of printing quality is affected by temperature and humidity. Please ensure that the recommended operating conditions are adhered to (Operating temperature 18-28℃ (64.4-82.4℉)/humidity 40-80% RH; If a different operating temperature is printed on the label on the resin bottle, please adhere to recommended conditions on the label.)

Resin Tank Care

– Due to the nature of the print technology and material, the resin tank may develop cloudy regions overtime where the laser cures the resin frequently and may lead to print fails. Moving the print location around the platform can help prolong the life of the tank.

– Avoid printing over cloudy area in the tank. Laser power may be reduced by the cloud. This may decrease the adhesion between the model and the
platform.
– Change to a new tank when over 2/3 of the surface gets cloudy.
– Use an isolate resin tank when using resin of different colors. Mixing resin of different color may affect printing quality.
– Sift any residue or cured debris from the tank with the scraper, high-density filter or other tools. Resin can be reused after filtering.
