=== Avoiding Equipment Damage === | |||
* If the tank is removed before the build platform, liquid resin can drip from the build platform onto the optical surfaces inside the printer. Always remove the build platform before removing the tank. In case of spills, contact maintenance staff to clean the optical surfaces. | |||
* Each tank has an optical surface on the bottom and top that must not get dirty. Always handle tanks from the sides - NEVER touch the bottom or top. | |||
