Workflow Tips
Some basic rules, processes, and activities to help you
improve your 3D printing workflow, increase efficiency.
asd improve success rates.
Keep a clean workspace
- Create a system for printing that makes good use of your space
- Build good habits - once you start a process, stick with a
- Limit access to the print space to only those using the printer
Clean your printer thoroughly
- Filter resin and clean your tank with IPA after + misprints
- Clean the tank thoroughly when switching between resins
- Stir resin in the tank before each prist to ensure thorough mixing
Post—process efficiently
- Minimize the number of steps and space required for post-processing
- Use two-stage IPA wash: rinse parts in one vessel then wash fortes minutes in a separate vessel
- Use Pro Cure to rapidly post-cure, maximizing the mechanical properties of your parts
Check prints in RayWare
- Closely examine prints to ensure suff icient build surface contact
- When printing with supports, orient parts at a 30- to 60-degree angle from the built plate
- Double-check resin type, layer height, and printer before hitting ‘print’
Fine—tune your printer
(Bonus for experts)
- Calibrate your printer for each resin type that you use
- To ensure good part fitment, perform ‘Tolerance’ fine tuning until your printer scores a ‘3’
- Perform ‘Dimensional Accuracy’ fine tuning to calibrate for your post-curing setup
