To clean the tank, begin by removing the tank from its cradle in the printer.

If there is any liquid resin left in the tank, pour it back into the original resin bottle through a mesh strainer to ensure no hardened chunks can contaminate your bottle.

We recommend a standard paint filter of 200 microns or greater, though a finer mesh can still work. Make sure to do this quickly as the resin will begin to harden as soon as it is exposed to UV light!

If your tank has any partially-cured chunks of resin stuck to the bottom, peel them away gently.

Please Note: Take care not to use abrasive tools, as the bottom of the resin tank is extremely fragile.

Using IPA 91% or greater, moisten your soft shop towels and gently wipe the inside of the resin tank, being careful not to apply too much pressure to the edges of the plastic film. Do not pour IPA directly into the tank as this can damage it.

Please Note: We do not recommend cleaning out tanks and adding a new resin type. One tank per resin type is the best way to ensure successful prints!

Flip your tank over, and wipe down the glass surface with Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft paper towel. Make sure you get all of the corners, and clean as thoroughly as possible.

Check the optical path to make sure it is sufficiently cleaned.

Hold a bright light (such as a flashlight or smartphone flash) at a low angle and shine it across the surface to ensure you have cleaned all possible contaminants.
