When working with resin 3D printing, make sure you work in a well-ventilated area and minimize skin contact with uncured resin. It is best to wear a mask and gloves, or prepare other protective measures as needed. Different resins have different properties, please read the instructions and follow the usage recommendations. Before printing, do not pour more resin than the maximum scale of the resin tank. After printing is completed, pay attention to recycling and storing the resin for subsequent use. Resin prints removed from the printer's build platform need to be cleaned and cured, click to view tutorial. Use with Anycucbic Wash & Cure Plus Machine to ensure your prints reach their full strength and durability.
