Checking Printed Output Checking Printed Output Caution - Wear nitril gloves before getting started. 1.1 Detaching Printed Output 1 Standby Until Platform Returns To Ready Position After printing is finished, wait until platform completely returns to ready position. Do not open the orange cover before platform stops moving.
Checking Printed Output 4 3 Platform Locking Screws Removal If not removing the resin remnant sufficiently, the table, work area or machine exterior may become contaminated by the overflowing resin from the platform when carrying the platform. As shown in the picture below, please place the platform over a resin tank that resins accumulated on the platform drop to the resin tank. Please remove the remaining resin by scraping with the scrapper shipped with the machine.
4 Checking Printed Output Important - As moving the platform away from the machine, be careful not to let the resin splash or spill onto any part of the resin tank. Insert blade of metal scrapper between printed output and platform and detach it by pushing scrapper slowly and carefully. Start detaching from corners of printed output and continue to insert scrapper inward.
Checking Printed Output 4 - After removing the platform from the unit, be sure to close the orange cover. If the resin contained in the resin tank is exposed to external light for a long time, the resin may harden and cause the printing failure. 1.2 Finishing the Printed Output 1 Removing supports Remove supports using the nipper enclosed in the finisher kit. Nipper Caution - Use the nipper with care because the blade is sharp. - Be careful not to cut the printed output by mistake.
4 Checking Printed Output Remove remaining resin using a brush or toothbrush. Use a sprayer to wipe out the fine gaps or holes in the output with IPA. 3 Drying and post-curing Important - The curing time may vary depending on the printed output’s size and shape. - For quick curing, fill a transparent container with water, and put the printed output in it. Completely clean up IPA using a paper towel, or dry it well using an air compressor.
Checking Printed Output 1.3 4 Preparing the Next Print 1 Cleaning Platform Remove debris of print and contaminants remaining on the platform using an enclosed metal scraper. Clean remaining resin on the top and bottom of the platform using a paper towel and IPA. Finally, clean all remaining IPA using a dry paper towel. Metal Scraper Important - Please remove the platform first, and install it very last. Resin dropped or splashed from the platform may flow inside the machine.
4 1.4 Checking Printed Output Enhancing Print Quality 1 Following the guideline for resin use - The print quality is seriously influenced by the condition of resin. Take note of the expiration date as well as the storage and working temperatures marked on the resin. - Resin in the resin tank needs to be filtered regularly using mesh filter. As printing goes over and over, contaminants and debris may increase in the resin tank. Please keep the resin clean by filtering regularly.

Sindoh A1SD Series USER MANUAL Maintenance 5
5 1. Maintenance Machine Cleaning Caution - Turn off the power for the machine cleaning. If resin or cleaning tools go into the machine while the power is on, it may cause a machine malfunction. 1.1 Printer Interior Cleaning During machine use, the resin may fall inside the machine. If the resin goes into sensitive parts such as any optical parts, it may cause a malfunction or printing failure. Clean the machine before and after using it or do as so periodically.
Maintenance 1.3 2 Platform If debris of print or contaminants exists on the surface of the platform or in its holes, platform leveling may not be performed perfectly. They may cause a degradation in the print quality or print failure. For the best printing performance, clean the platform regularly and after each printing job. Caution - Wear nitrile gloves before cleaning. 1 Remove debris of print and contaminants remaining on the platform using an enclosed metal scraper.
5 Maintenance 3 If contaminants exist on a part where the platform is installed, platform leveling may fail, resulting in failed printing. Make sure that there are no contaminants remaining between the main body and the platform, and clean it using IPA and a paper towel if there is any. Assembly Surface (Main Body) 1.4 Assembly Surface (Platform) Resin Tank The resin tank consists of aluminum die-casted walls, and a release film.
2 Maintenance 1 Checking the inside of the resin tank To check the inside of the resin tank, inspect it by scraping its bottom using the supplied rubber scraper. Look at the release film by carefully scraping resin from one side to the other of the resin tank. Rubber Scraper Important - Do not scrape the bottom of the resin tank too hard. The release film can become loose or tear out.
5 Maintenance Cleaning the Resin Tank Caution - Wear nitrile gloves before cleaning. 1 Cleaning the release film Use your fingers, a rubber scraper, or a gap gage mylar to remove residues of prints sticking to the release film and cured resin or particles floating in resin. Important - Do not scrape the bottom of resin tank hard. The release film can become loosen or tear out.
2 Maintenance 2 Filtering remaining resin If the residues of prints or contaminants cannot be perfectly removed with your fingers or a rubber scraper, filter the resin through the cleaning filter to remove them. Pour the resin into a bottle with the cleaning filter to remove them. If resin does not flow down from the resin tank, lean the tank onto several layers of waste paper or paper towel, and use a rubber scraper to scrape down resin.
5 1.5 Maintenance LCD Protective Glass The LCD protective glass is made of transparent glass to pass through LED beam with maximum efficiency. In addition, it prevents external dust or resin from penetrating inside the machine. For the best printing performance, it is very important that the LCD protective glass, through which the LED beam passes, is not scratched or contaminated.
Maintenance 2 3 Cleaning the protective glass The LCD protective glass needs to be cleaned only with IPA or a dedicated cleaner for glass and a clean microfiber cloth. Non-microfiber cloth or paper towel can scratch the LCD protective glass. ① Dampen the microfiber cloth with IPA, and wipe it from top to bottom without stopping. ② Repeat this procedure until cleaning is finished.
5 Maintenance 1.6 Orange Cover The orange cover is made of translucent orange acryl material to allow users to check the situation inside the device. Orange acryl is a specially selected material to safely shield the LED beam. To prevent users from accidentally using the machine with the cover open, double safety systems are installed. It is designed to stop temporarily for the safety of a user because if the cover is opened during printing, it may cause reduced quality or failed printing.
Maintenance 2 Reference - Pull the center part of the cover to easily close it. If you pull the left or right part, force is dispersed, which needs more force than the center. Cleaning the Orange Cover The orange cover needs to be cleaned only with a clean microfiber cloth and a dedicated cleaner for acryl material, for example, NOVUS No. 1 Plastic Clean and Shine. Non-microfiber cloth or paper towel can scratch the orange cover.
5 Maintenance 2. Error Messages and Solutions Message 5-12 Description What To Do Booting Please wait until booting is complete. On the first boot, the user must wait until the booting process is finished. Once the boot-up process is finished and the machine is ready, this message disappears automatically. Error EC 301 Error with the main cooling fan in the rear. Check if there is any foreign substance that interferes with the fan operation, and remove it.
Maintenance 3. Problems and Solutions 3.1 Actions in Case of a Printing Failure 2 Inevitably, printing can fail. In the event of a printing failure, a small piece of missing or incompletely cured resin will float in the resin tank or remain attached to the release film. These contaminants are generated more in case of a printing failure rather than successful printing. In case of a printing failure, clean the resin tank according to the following instructions.
5 Maintenance 3.2 If Noise is Generated from the Lead Screw of Platform Noise can be generated from the lead screw of platform if foreign matters such as resin, etc is located to the lead screw.
