Installing the cassette
Once you’ve dispensed your resin into the cassette, carefully use the built-in handles to carry it to the printer.
To install the cassette:
1.
Place the cassette on the deck glass with both hands, gently pressing down to ensure it is level.
2.
Turn the latch clockwise with your right hand to secure the cassette.
3.
Gently wiggle the cassette to ensure it is properly seated and locked into place.
Attaching the platform
The alignment of the platform is critical for print success. To ensure the platform is correctly seated on the kinematic mounts, do
not hold it in place while locking the platform.
To attach the platform:
1.
Place the triangular top of a clean platform into the platform latch.
2.
Completely release the platform.
3.
Gently poke the top of the platform to ensure it’s pushed completely into the latch and the kinematic mounts are
correctly mated.
Closing the door
After installing the filled cassette and attaching the platform, close the printer door by sliding your foot across the sensor in the
door switch.

Printing
Starting a print
After uploading and preparing your model and printer, you can start a print from a networked computer using Carbon’s software
or directly from the printer using the display panel buttons.
Stopping a print
You cannot continue after stopping a print.
To stop a print:
1.
In case of emergency, press the Emergency Stop knob.
2.
Otherwise, use the abort button on the printer display or in Carbon’s software.
Always keep your hands clear of the moving platform elevator. In serious situations, use the
Emergency Stop knob.

Post-processing
After printing your parts, there are several required post-processing steps, but the order varies based on resin and geometry.
Your CTP will help you understand when and how to:
•
Remove parts from the platform.
•
Remove supports from your part.
•
Remove as much residual resin as possible.
•
Cure your parts to achieve final mechanical properties.
Do not try to cure a part on the platform in the convection oven. You may damage the
electronics embedded in the platform.
