Before You Begin

• Always wear nitrile gloves when handling items that come into contact with uncured resin

Material Maintenance Procedure

1. Protect the material in the material tray from ambient light by keeping the hood closed.
    
2. Mix material in the material tray before each print using the rubber spatula from the Starter Kit. To do this:
   1. Lightly skim the spatula back and forth across the surface of the material in the tray.
   2. Mix carefully to avoid puncturing or tearing the film at the bottom of the material tray.
   3. Mix the material until it’s a completely uniform color.
       
3. Check the material for solids or debris. If found, filter the material:
   1. Remove the material tray from the printer.
   2. Set the funnel and cone-shaped paint filter on top of a separate opaque storage bottle.
   3. Pour the material out by tipping the front corner of the tray, away from the vent holes.
   4. Use the rubber spatula to assist in guiding the material into the filter.
   5. When finished, dispose of the filter and clean the funnel with a dry paper towel.
