6.2.1 Turntable Maintenance
The Form Cure relies on the turntable’s rotation to expose part surfaces to even amounts of
light and heat. The turntable must have sucient clearance to continue rotating.
Periodically lift the turntable to inspect underneath it for small pieces of cured resin. Remove particles of
cured resin from above and below the turntable to ensure the turntable can rotate without interruption.
Clean the turntable and the surface underneath as needed. Use IPA to clean the turntable
or the base if necessary, and allow IPA to fully evaporate before starting a post-cure cycle.
