Operation (pictures encouraged)

Leveling the bed

To level the bed, follow these steps:

1. Use a 4.0 mm hex wrench to loosen the screws on the build plate, allowing the plate to move freely.
2. Place a sheet of paper on the LCD screen.
3. On the touch screen, select "Back to Zero" to lower the bed.
4. When the bed reaches the LCD screen, press down on the middle of the build plate and tighten the screws one by one. Start by tightening the screws along the diagonal first.
5. After all screws are tightened, gently pull the paper. You should feel slight resistance—this indicates that the leveling is correct.
6. On the touch screen, return to the previous menu, set "Z=0," and press "Confirm."
7. Manually raise the build plate.

Cleanup

Universal Cleaning Guide

• Return the equipment to neutral.
• Sweep up any dust and debris around the tool, your table top, and the floor - both in the equipment area and your work area.
• Clear the floor of any tripping hazards, like power cords.
• Empty trash cans and dust collectors that are halfway full or more into the Asmbly dumpster behind the workshop.
• Leave the shop 110% better than you found it.

Tool Specific Cleaning Guide

• The build plate does not have to be cleaned every time a print is made, as it'll waste time and resin. Only clean the plate if a print failed or if something fell into the resin.
• The resin can be left in the printer for months, so long as the resin is stirred and heated before a print is made.
• The FEP sheet can be cleaned by cutting a microfiber towel into three or four slices and wiping the FEP sheet with them.

Example for Miter Saw:

1. Brush off top surface
2. Brush around machine
3. Clean infeed and outfeed tables
4. Sweep floor
5. Wall vacuum hose works well
