Resin Care
Resin Tank Care
•Wear proper protective equipment, avoid raw material contact and vapor inhalation.
•Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn when you make contact with resin.
•Resin should preferably be stored at temperatures between 10-32°C (50-89.6°F), localized heat sources (i.e., drum or band heaters), oxidizing
conditions, freezing conditions, direct sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, inert gas blanketing.
•Never pour the waste resin back to the bottle or down the sink, as it may pollute the remaining resin or clog the drain.
•You may pour resin waste into plastic bag and expose it to sunlight or UV light source to cure the resin. The cured resin can then be discarded.
•Avoid dripping resin on anything other than the platform or the resin tank, or the printer may malfunction.
•Please ensure that the recommended operating conditions are adhered to. (Operating temperature 20-30°C (68-86°F)/ humidity 40 ~ 60% RH; If
a different operating temperature is printed on the label on the resin bottle, please adhere to recommended conditions on the label.)
•For the best printing quality, resin should be used up within 3 months after purchasing and within 1 month of opening.
•The resin tank is consumable. It should be replaced when the bottom is damaged or gets cloudy to ensure the printing quality.
•It is suggested to use isolated resin tank while different color resin is going to be used to ensure printing quality.

Printing setup varies based on the color and material of the resin. Please set the option
based on the resin cartridge installed on the printer before printing. It is advised to include
color setting in filename for instant distinction in the future.
Please note that printing will be stopped if the selected resin type doesn’t match the resin
installed. “Resin Model” can be found under
“Info”>”Resin status” on the printer and on
the serial number label on the resin bottle.
"Layer Height" indicates the resolution of a print. Using thinner layers will make higher
quality prints but will also take longer to print.
The "Quality" option may affect the smoothness of the prints. Select "Superfine" to achieve
a smooth print, while the time required for printing will be longer than that of the "Standard"
option.
Please select printing parameters based on connected printer model. If other printer model

necessary. Simply select a desired density ① and contact ②, choose to "Lift" ③ the print and/or print without internal support
④, and press "Auto Generate" to preview the support structure.
① Density : Large overhangs will require more support structure. However, more support structure will take longer for printing.
② Contact : Thicker contact point will lead to higher strength but will take longer for printing.
③ Lift : Lift the objects over the platform will ease the removal after printing. However, the support structure under the prints
will take longer for printing.
④ Inner Support : For objects with inner overhanging structure, XYZware_Nobel will add support to the parts. However the
support inside may not be removed easily, you may consider printing without inner support.
Save as .stl or .3ws file: Save all objects on the platform to a single stl/3ws file. Any adjustment to the size or placement of the objects will apply to the file.
Setup printing preference and send the objects for printing: Once your device is connected to the printer, click "Print" to open printout setting window (options are the
same as "Export" window). Set your printing preference based on the features of the objects and hit "Print" to proceed.
Setup interface language, printer type, display unit and etc.
Info/Software & firmware update: Apply printer firmware and XYZware_Nobel updates when prompt by the software for stable printing performance.
Zoom in/out: Zoom in or out the platform to view the details of objects.
Switch views: Switch views with a click to view objects from different angles.
Support structure: support structure is required under overhangs. It prevents the falling for gravity and the deforming due to the peeling force during printing, and
increases adhesion of the model to the platform.

platform to the end and turn it clockwise with both hands to ensure platform is correctly positioned.
●Clear the resin tank
Check Before Every Print
A. Check the following items to ensure printing quality and the operation of the printer.
1. Avoid touching the bottom of the resin tank with a sharp, hard tool to avoid damaging the surface coating.
2. Filter the resin after every print may ensure the stability of printing.
3. Resin residing in the black filling tube may drip on the printer case. Please cover the opening of the tube with paper towel before removing the tank.
To remove any residue stuck to the bottom of the resin tank, or to clean the tank thoroughly, follow the procedure for cleaning:
Pour uncured resin in the tank into a waste bin. For the resins left over in the tank, clear the surface of the tank gently with plastic scraper.
Clean the residue stuck on the tank gently with plastic tweezers. Avoid damaging the Teflon surface.
-16-
Note
You can either wait until the alcohol in the tank evaporates completely or wipe away the alcohol with a softness lint-free cloth.
If resin in tank is cured, please replace the tank.
Spray alcohol on the tank and the Teflon surface, and wait for around 1 minute. Clear the surface of the tank gently with plastic scraper. Pour remaining alcohol left in the
tank into the waste bin. Repeat these steps until all residue has been removed.
-17-
For models with non-manifold geometry (black-highlighted in the software), please repair the models before printing.
●Support:
For models of top-heavy structure, with overhanging parts or with less contact with the platform after rotated, please add support structures.
For larger overhanging parts, please choose the support structure with higher density and larger contact point.
Tips
Optimize the placement and the support structure of the model with the ”Rotate”, “Support” and “Brim” functions in the software.
●Rotate:
For models of top-heavy structure, with less contact with the platform, or with any larger solid layer, please rotate the model to reduce the effect of peeling force during build
process.
●Brim:
One of the keys to successful printing on the bottom up type SL printer is to ensure the adhesion of the model to the platform. If rotating the model doesn’t increase the
contact between the models and the platform greatly, please check “Brim” while exporting or printing the file. Also add “support” if necessary.
B. Also make sure that the printer and the printout setting is optimized by following the tips below.
