Important Notice

Wear safety goggles before using the printer.

Do not let children operate this device without
adult supervision. Moving parts may cause serious
injury.

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.
For a complete guide on precautions, clean-up
procedures, handling procedures, storage
procedures, and suggestions on protection, see the
"Resin Care" section in your product manual.

If unused for more than a week, pigments in the
resin may settle at the bottom of the cartridge or
the tank. Shake/stir well before using.

For the best printing performance, resin should be
used up within 3 months after purchasing and
within 1 month of opening. Resin should preferably
be stored at temperatures between 10-32°C
(50-89.6°F).

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

Change to a new tank when over 2/3 of the surface
gets cloudy.

Use separate resin tanks for resins of different color.
Mixing resins of different color may affect printing
quality.

Always perform “Horizon Calibration” after
changing to a new tank or a tank different the one
used for last print.
