Te tiaki me te rokiroki
Proper maintenance of your resin and equipment ensures longevity and consistent print quality.
- Te Rokiroki Resin: Store unused resin in its original, sealed, leak-proof bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Whakapai Wat: After printing, if you plan to store resin in the vat for an extended period, cover it to prevent dust and light exposure. For long-term storage or changing resin types, clean the resin vat thoroughly with IPA.
- Whakapai Pūreretā: Regularly clean your 3D printer's build plate and other components that come into contact with resin using IPA.
- Te tukunga: Dispose of cured resin and contaminated IPA according to local regulations. Never pour liquid resin down the drain.
Raparongoā Nga take noa
Here are some common issues encountered during resin 3D printing and their potential solutions:
| Putanga | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Prints are brittle after curing. | Over-curing with UV light. | Reduce UV exposure time during post-curing. Ensure models are clean before curing. |
| Prints feel tacky or sticky. | Insufficient cleaning or curing. | Ensure thorough washing with fresh IPA. Increase curing time slightly, or ensure all surfaces are exposed to UV light. |
| Parts of the print are missing or incomplete. | Failed supports, insufficient exposure, or resin contamination. | Check support structure in slicer. Increase exposure time slightly. Filter resin for cured bits. Clean the FEP film. |
| Poor adhesion to build plate. | Build plate not leveled, insufficient bottom exposure time, or cold resin/environment. | Re-level the build plate. Increase bottom layer exposure time. Ensure resin and room temperature are within recommended range (20-25°C). |
