[Sonic Mighty 4K] Vat Cleaning function

The vat cleaning function exposes the entire LCD with UV light for several seconds, forming a thin layer of cured resin on the FEP film. We suggest performing this function if your 3D prints have failed, and a large amount of cured resin particles are scattered around the resin vat.

1. Vat Cleaning Function

Vat cleaning

• Fill the vat with resin. 
• On the touch panel, click TOOLS, then select VAT CLEANING.
• Set the exposure time to 30~60 seconds. Then click NEXT.
• A thin layer of resin should cure on the FEP film.

Remove the Thin Layer

• Pour resin back into the bottle by using the funnel provided in the toolbox. Pour slowly to avoid spillage. Click here to learn more. 
• Use a clean paper towel to remove excess resin remaining in the vat.
• Spray 95% sanitizing alcohol onto the thin layer of resin. Let it sit there for a while as the resin softens up.
• Then use the plastic scraper included in the toolbox to remove the thin layer of cured resin.

Clean the Resin Vat

• Spray sanitizing alcohol and use a kitchen paper towel to wipe off excess resin present on the FEP film.
• Repeat the step above, and clean the edges until the entire resin vat has been thoroughly cleaned.
• Attach the resin vat back onto the LCD 3D printer.

This process may ensure a well-maintained and cleaned resin vat, optimizing the conditions for successful future 3D printing.
