Take Out Model Note: For appearance, AccuFab-L4D and AccuFab-L4K differ only in sunshield colors. This chapter takes AccuFab-L4K as an example. Step 1 After the model printing finishes, lift and suspend the build platform for 5 minutes. Thus, the residual resin material attached to the model's surface drops back to the resin tank. Step 2 Use silicon scraper provided in accessories to scrap off the resin material on the build platform obliquely. Release the tongue depressor, take out the build platform, and place the platform sideways on the bench. Step 3 Select "Flat Pry Knife" in the accessories list to take the printed model from the platform. Mind that flat pry knife direction cannot be towards any human body part.

Step 2 Put the printed model in the cleaning box, shake slightly for 30 seconds (choose ultrasonic cleaning if there is an ultrasonic cleaner), cover the cleaning box and soak for 2-3 minutes. This operation can remove the residual resin from the surface of the printed model. Note: If it is still not cleaned, use a high-pressure air gun. For smaller parts, reduce the soaking time accordingly, because over-soaking will cause the model to soften. Step 3 Take out the printed model from the cleaning box, dry the resin and alcohol on the surface, and standing to dry the model. 5.2.2.

This machine uses the principle that the photosensitive resin material will be cured and molded under the irradiation of a UV lamp with a specific light wavelength. Models after secondary curing can be stored for a long time without irritating human skin, and the model's overall performance (smoothness, hardness, etc.) is better than ordinary models. Step 1 Place the model into the curing box. Wear disposable gloves, open the shading door of the curing box, uniformly place the cleaned model on the center of the acrylic turntable of the curing box, close the shading door after placing. AccuFab-L4D & L4K_User Manual_V3.2.20_June 2021 34 Step 2 Set curing time. Press the power button of the curing box, and the time will display on the screen. Turn the prepositive preposition time knob of the curing box according to the "Recommended Curing Schedule of Resin Materials" to set the curing time, and press the knob for confirmation. Step 3 Waiting for curing.
