PREPARE DUPLICATOR 7 FOR PRINTING
Place
the
vat on top of the LCD screen and tighten
the
screws to
secure
it
to
the printer.
Do not over
tighten.
9
Slide the build plate onto the build plate holder.
Ensure that the build assembly has the grooved side
toward the printer.
10
Tighten the build plate knob and loosen the four
screws at the sides so the platform can move freely
up and down.
11
NOTE:
Ensure that building plate’s screws are completely free when
lowering the platform to avoid damage
to
the screen.
Click the
Control
tab, then click the
Home
button
to lower the platform towards the screen. The
platform will move down to
sit
on the screen
(level 0 in Z axis) and stop.
12
Smoothly press the build platform with one hand and tighten the 4 screws. All 4 screws should now be tight. Lift the
build plate and fill the vat with resin. Printing doesn’t consume a lot of resin, so a quarter full vat is usually enough for a
medium sized print.
13
NOTE
: Don’t push the build platform too
hard
to avoid breaking the LCD screen.
En
sure the platform touches the screen
sufficiently.
NOTE
:once started, the print can’t be paused and
refilled
,
so it's safer to overfill and reuse the resin.
