  • Objet Studio: Runs on host or clients. Used to place models on the tray, to get estimates in terms of amount of material. From the host machine, sending to print would run the job manager and start printing.
  • Job manager: Does the rasterization and sends 8 layers at a time to the printer. It must be running while the printing is being carried out. Closing this application would forfeit the print.
  • CAD application: (third party sortware) such as solidworks, used to create/edit models. Save in binary format, high triangulation of models would result in smooth curves.

Resolution
  • 28microns in the Z direction, 1200dpi in X,Y.
  • Set “angle” low on CAD software for smooth curves
Line: 64 to 72
 
  1. Use the spatula to pick up the parts.
  2. Clean the tray: Scrape off the excess support material from the print tray with the scraper. Spray some water on the tray and wipe off with a lint-free microfiber cloth (supplied).
Finalizing the print

  1. Use a water jet for cleaning off the support material. “Lite” support is easy to clean. For some cases, NaOH might be needed (see pdf).

  1. Use a water jet (we don't have one installed -- use a knife for now smile ) for cleaning off the support material. “Lite” support is easy to clean. For some cases, NaOH might be needed (see pdf).
 
  1. Color the model, coloring works well.
  2. Try not to use a big drill; gradually increase drill size, otherwise, the model might break.

Bringing up the maintenance menu

On the printer’s computer, focus controller app
  1. hide the mouse cursor at the bottom right corner of the screen
Line: 82 to 96
 Waste bags are free for the first year.
2. Odor filter:
Needs to replaced every 1 to 2 years, if needed. It is in a drawer in the back.

3. Model/support cartridge:

 Each cartridge holds 1kg of liquid material. There are two model (square) and two support cartridges (rectangular) in the drawer. Once empty, replace. Replacements must be purchased in pairs. The control app shows amounts left in the cartridges.

Toxicity: Liquid form is toxic. Inhaling is not a problem, touching might irritate the skin. Never touch your eyes with it or taste it. Wear gloves when handling the liquid form. Once cured it is not toxic.
