1.
Resin cartridge: A container that holds the resin before dispensing into the resin tank.
Shake resin cartridges periodically to keep resin well mixed.
2. Build platform: The aluminum base provides a surface for prints to attach to.
3. Resin tank: Resin is dispensed out of the resin cartridge into the resin tank. During a print,
light passes up through the bottom of the resin tank and cures resin onto the build platform
to form a printed part.
4.
Mixer: A mixer improves print consistency by clearing the build area and circulating the resin.
5. Touchscreen: The LCD capacitive touch user interface displays print information, settings,
and error messages.
6. Tank latch: Two tank latches secure the resin tank in place for printing.
7. Camera: An integrated camera for post-print photos, timelapses, and remote monitoring.
8.
Cover: The printer cover, made of metal and a strong, orange-tinted material, blocks
exposure to the curing light and protects the resin from curing due to ambient light.
9.
Tool caddy: The tool caddy contains parallelism shims, a 2.5 mm hex key, and a 4mm hex key
to be used for printer maintenance. See 2.3.3 Included accessories for more information.
