Instructions to use the Crestaform® Rapid resin:
- Always shake or mix the resin thoroughly before use
- Open the container and pour the appropriate amount of resin into the tank according to the size of the printer model
- Make sure to not spill the resin onto the printer, LCD screen or anywhere outside of the resin tank
- If not used for a long time, please filter the resin and pour the resin into the storage container
Recommended cleaning
- Soak the print in a clean IPA bath for a minimum of 5 minutes. Alternatively, rinse the part with IPA until all the visible uncured resin has been removed. Reusing IPA in multiple cleans can reduce the cleanliness and clarity of a print.
- Leave the print to dry of any residual solvent prior to post-curing.
Recommended post-curing
- Post-cure every print for a minimum of 10 minutes under a dedicated curing UV light operating at 405nm wavelength. Alternatively, leave the print to cure for a minimum of 2 hours under direct sunlight.
- Temperature-assisted UV curing will increase the rigidity of the print.
