In early stages, a small amount of resin appears in the edge of resin tank, slots and release film (FEP film). In the printing process, the resin in the tank declines slowly, which is hard to perceive.
Gradually, a large amount of resin quickly spills out from the damaged places. Then, a significant resin accumulation will occur on the surface of the printer and the LCD screen. Even worse, the resin may seep into the inner of the printer, impacting the printer operation.
The resin leakage can be caused by
- The release film surface defects, including damage, punctures as well as rips.
- The seal failure of the resin tank.
Power off the printer and unplug it if the resin leaks into the LCD screen, the lead screw of the motor or inside the printer, it can cause damage to the accessories.
- Power off the printer and unplug it.
- Remove the front cover of the LCD screen.
- Wipe the resin on the surface and crevices of the screen using a cotton swab or dust-free cloth.
Note: Do not wipe the surface forcefully. Otherwise, the resin may spread across the screen.
- Dip the special electronic cleaner, such as absolute ethanol with a dust-free cloth. Wipe the residual traces to ensure that the screen surface is clean and dry.
- Wipe the resin on the surface of the lead screw using dust-free cloth.
- Clean the stubborn stains using a small amount of lubricant.
- To prevent the lead screw from being worn and stuck due to resin residue, apply an appropriate amount of lithium-based grease after cleaning.
Note: Avoid touching the electronic components to prevent electrostatic damage when cleaning.
- Visually inspect the circuit boards and transmission parts.
- Clean the resin using dust-free cloth or cotton ball with tweezers.
- If the resin penetrates into hard-to-reach crevices, suck up the resin using a syringe.
- Deeply clean the crevices using a detergent.
- Visually inspect the accessories, including the LCD screen, lead screws of the motor and the electronic components.
- Replace the damaged accessories in time with new ones.
- After replacement, powered on the printer to confirm that each component is running normally.
Note: If the release film is dented, damaged, or perforated, replace it with a new one immediately.
- Pour out the remaining resin.
- Dip the special detergent with dust-free cloth. Clean the resin tank and the release film.
- Pour new resin into the resin tank.
- Visually inspect the resin tank. If there are any caking materials or metal chips in the tank, carefully clamp them out with tweezers.
- After removing the foreign matters, irradiate the surface of the release film with a strong light. Check if there are any scratches on the surface.
- Before printing, check the resin to ensure it has no caking phenomenon.
- Do not use any resin of poor quality.
- Clean the resin tank periodically, preventing the cured resin from accumulation.
- Do not scrape the release film using tools with sharp blades or edges.
