physical damage has occurred.

 Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the outlet provides the

same type and level of power required by the device.

 This device uses a grounded power cord and requires a ground connection for safe

operation. Ensure that the power source has a proper ground connection. Do not

modify the plug or use a "cheater" plug to bypass the ground connection.

 Disconnect the unit from the power source when replacing the fuse. Replace the

fuse only with the same type.

 Unplug this device from the power source when not in use.

 Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it to become

crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with other cords. Ensure that the

+30°C) with relative humidity from 20 ~ 50%. Printing outside this range is likely to

result in lower quality prints.

 Do not leave the printer unattended during operation.  The resin used in this printer is an irritant to skin and eyes. Always wear gloves and

eye protection when handling resin.

 Always wear eye protection when cleaning or sanding printed models to avoid

getting small particles in your eyes.

 Take care when using the scraper. Never direct the scraper toward your fingers or

body.

INTRODUCTION

This MP Mini Deluxe SLA LCD High Resolution Resin 3D Printer is a new type of 3D printer

that uses the Direct UV-light Printing (DUP) technology. This printing method uses an LCD

screen to expose the resin to focused UV light, which causes it to harden and form the

model. It can print layers as thin as 20 microns, which results in extremely fine detail,

making it ideal for medical, dental, and jewelry applications. It can print vertically at speeds

up to 30mm/hour.

FEATURES

 5.5 inch IPS LCD curing screen  5.5 inch color LCD touchscreen control  Layer thickness as low as 20 microns  4.8" x 2.7" x 7.1" (121 x 69 x 180 mm) print area  Can print vertically as fast as 30mm/hour  0.00001mm X-axis and Y-axis accuracy, 0.004mm Z-axis accuracy  Machined aluminum build plate  110 VAC 50/60Hz or 240 VAC, 50/60Hz input power (auto switching)  Includes MP Creation Workshop software  Compatible with Windows® and Linux® operating systems
