First Print Instructions To Print Insert the USB memory (the test file“ TEST. pwmio™ has been saved in it) into the USB port. Then wear masks and gloves, slowly pour the resin into the vat and the resin cannot exceed the maximum scale in the vat. After that, cover the lid and the side with sticker needs to face backward. Take off the gloves, select the "Testimony" test file-and start printing. (The printing time on the screen is for reference only, we make no guarantee that it is the actual printing time.
First Print Instructions 2. Door detection function Door detection function is disabled by default. If this function is enabled, the printer can detect whether the lid is on-or not. If the lid is removed, the printing will be paused. And the printing will resume if put back the lid. Click the lock icon on “Tools” interface to enable/disable this function. After click, the lock icon is locked and the i function is enabled.

Rotate Check off Click or the larger bottom of the model. @ Model scaling After setting the model to the maximum size, center it to avoid the model exceeding the print range.
Slicing Software ® Center the model: Fix Maximum TS Le Cl Select the model and click "Duplicate", then an identical model will be duplicated. (Those models may overlap) For multiple models, click ’X Side" or "Y Side", the models can be aligned orY direction.
Slicing Software (4) Hollow And Fill in some cases, you don't need the model to be completely solid. Before you start slicing a model, you can hollow to reduce resin consumption. a Please check and choose the most suitable parameters for hollowing and infilling to fit your requirement.
Slicing Software : Hollow thickness: 1mm Hollow thickness: 3mm The model name: MIA The.author.of the model: Fa bio Tanisha You may drag the slider to see the internal structure of the model after hollowing.
Slicing Software Hollow thickness: 2mm, no. infill (5) Punching Although the model is hollowed, there will still be part of the resin remaining in the model after printing. By punching the model, the resin’ in the model can flow out, which reduces the weight of the model and the resin consumption. ath Cuter digested id length The "Inner. extend length". must. be greater-than the "Hollow thickness", so that the model can be pierced when punching and the resin can flow out of the model.

Slicing Software (8) Support Settings when the model has obvious suspended parts or overhang, it needs to.add support to minimize the printing failure. Click-on the model and then click supportable to edit the support for hy the model. Before adding support, you can edit the shape of the support. There are three types of support, Light, Medium and Heavy.
Slicing Software Step 1: Shape editing Click on one of these types, such as Medium. As shown below, the support is divided into three parts, namely "top", "middle" and "bottom". The settings of those three parts are described in detail below. . Click to refresh to preset parameters Top: Set the parameters for the top of the support. Contact Shape! Select the 'Sphere™ as the contact point between the top and the model can increase the contact area between the support and the model.
Slicing Software Contact depth: The contact depth “between the support top and the model. ge Observational line forcomactdepth Contact Diameter: The contact diameter is valid when the contact shape is "Sphere".
Slicing Software Diameter: You can input number to change the top diameter. Length: You can input number to change the top length. 2.00mm ST Angle: Use the default parameter. ®@ Mid: Set the parameters of the mid of the support.
Slicing Software Shape: There are three options for the mid shape, “Cube”, “Cylinder” and “Prism”. . ibe ane Co Diameter: You -can-input the number to change the mid diameter. 1.00mm pn el ® Bottom: Set the parameters an the bottom of the support.
Slicing Software Shape: There are four options for the top shape, “Skate”, "Cube", “Cylinder” ard Prism". Ee ie de Thriller: You can input the number to change the bottom length. oy, [tine RU Eee um Contact Depth: The depth of contact between the bottom of the support and the model when the support is added inside the model. Angle: Use the default parameter.
Slicing Software @ Raft In addition to the three types of support set by software, raft can be added to the model. Adding raft will increase the adhesion between model and build platform, thereby minimizing the print failure or warping risk. Select the shape of the raft as "Skate" and click "Fill" or "Platform to add the raft and support.
Slicing Software @ Manual Support Add: Only after click the "Add" button then can you add the support to the model. contour line, it can be used. as reference line when you are adding support when the mouse moves on the model, the green rhos tne can clicked wo add support the red shorting means {neat not be clicked to add SUPP OIL Delete: Click the "Delete" button first, and then click the support on the model and click "Delete" button to remove the support.
Slicing Software ®@ Automatic Support After setting "Auto Support Angle®, "Support Min Length" and "Support Density", click "Fill" or “Platform” can automatically add supports for the model. Click to refresh tithe preset parameters Auto Support Angle; The tangent angle between the model {small triangular facets) and the printing platform. With the same “Support Density” , the larger "Auto Support Angle” is, the more supports can be added.
Slicing Software support Min Length: Use the default parameter. There are two types of support added automatically, "vertical and "Tree". when you choose "Tree" type, the supports can be combined and interlocked. It simplifies the supports and saves material, nd After setting each parameter, click the "Fill" or "Platform" button to automatically add support.
Slicing Software @ Automatic support adding skills (improve print success rate) Tip 1: Properly increasing the support angle and density can optimize the support results and deliver better print quality. when browsing on the model, by observing the contour circle, it can be found that the model still has some weak points that have not been added supports properly (highlighted by ted arrows).
Slicing Software (9) Parameter Settings @ Slice Settings The default printing mode is "Normal Mode”. Iri this mode, four resin types are” "Plant-based!, "Dental Castable™ and “Custom”. Different resin types. have different printing parameters. You can directly select the "Resin Type” according to which Any cubic Resin you are using.
Slicing Software You can always modify the parameters. And, you can add custom resin type. Click "Configure™ — "Resin Manage”, Hacking Togs Custom Machine Languages Resin Manage Click “Add” button Note: Click refresh icon can restore the default parameters of the resin.
Slicing Software Slice parameters: ® ee eee Resin Price; Set the price according to the purchased resin. Resin Volume: Set according to the volume of a bottle of resin you purchased. During slicing, it will automatically calculate the resin consumption and price in total. Layer thickness: The thicker the layer, the longer the exposure time for each layer. Normal exposure time: Setting range: 1~4s, the exposure time.
Slicing Software @ Machine Settings These parameters seldom need modification. But if the printed model shows-big dimensional error 2), you can modify the corresponding values for that axis proportionally.

Import the file into the slicing software (The file has been saved into. the memory stick). Specifically, in the R_E_R_F mode, the curing. screen will be divided into eight areas and each area. is numbered; as shown in the picture.
Slicing Software ® The exposure time for Area No.1 is equal to "normal exposure time the slicing settings {exclude Bottom Exposure Time}, and the exposure time for other areas will be increased by an increment of “0.4s" subsequently. ® For example, when "Normal Exposure Time {s)" is set to 3s in the slicer, the exposure time for Area No.1 is 0.8s, the exposure time for Area No.2 will be 1.23, and 50 on, and the exposure time of Area-will be 3.65; ® You can modify the exposure time of Area No.
FAQ and Machine Maintenance 1. FAQ (1) Model do not stick to platform » Bottom exposure time is-insufficient; increase the exposure time. » Contact area between the model and platform is small, please add raft. » Bad leveling {2} Layer separation or splitting » The machine is not stable during printing » FEP film in the vat is not tight enough or it need a change for new one » The printing platform or vat is not tightened 2.
