Note:
For appearance, AccuFab-L4D and AccuFab-L4K differ only in sunshield colors. This chapter takes AccuFab-L4K
as an example.
Step 1 After the model printing finishes, lift and suspend the build platform for 5 minutes. Thus, the residual
resin material attached to the model’s surface drops back to the resin tank.

Step 2 Use silicon scraper provided in accessories to scrap off the resin material on the build platform obliquely.
Release the tongue depressor, take out the build platform, and place the platform sideways on the bench.

Step 3 Select "Flat Pry Knife" in the accessories list to take the printed model from the platform. Mind that flat
pry knife direction cannot be towards any human body part.

 5.2. Clean

5.2.1. Model
Step 1 Select the "Cleaning Box" in the accessories, and pour in alcohol (concentration of 95% or above).

Step 2 Put the printed model in the cleaning box, shake slightly for 30 seconds (choose ultrasonic cleaning if
there is an ultrasonic cleaner), cover the cleaning box and soak for 2-3 minutes. This operation can remove the
residual resin from the surface of the printed model.

Note:
If it is still not cleaned, use a high-pressure air gun.
For smaller parts, reduce the soaking time accordingly, because over-soaking will cause the model to soften.
Step 3 Take out the printed model from the cleaning box, dry the resin and alcohol on the surface, and
standing to dry the model.

5.2.2. Build Platform

Step 1 Use a putty knife to clean up the model residue on the build platform.

5.3. Cure Model

Use Fab Cure post-processing machine for the secondary curing treatment of the model. This machine uses the
principle that the photosensitive resin material will be cured and molded under the irradiation of a UV lamp with a
specific light wavelength.
Models after secondary curing can be stored for a long time without irritating human skin, and the model’s
overall performance (smoothness, hardness, etc.) is better than ordinary models.
Step 1 Place the model into the curing box.
Wear disposable gloves, open the shading door of the curing box, uniformly place the cleaned model on the
center of the acrylic turntable of the curing box, close the shading door after placing.

preposition time knob of the curing box according to the “Recommended Curing Schedule of Resin Materials” to set
the curing time, and press the knob for confirmation.

Step 3 Waiting for curing.

After the time is confirmed, the UV lamp of the curing box turns on lights up and the acrylic tray rotates to enter

the curing working mode. shows the Printer is under cursing. Do not touch it.

Note:
Opening the acrylic door during the curing process will cause the UV lamp to go off, the turntable to stop rotating
and the curing process to stop.
Step 4 Take out the model.
After curing, the buzzer of the curing box will ring to prompt. Then the shading door can be opened to take out
the model.
Note:
Clean the foreign matter on the acrylic turntable and curing box after curing. Keep the curing box clean for
future use.
