Step 1: Unboxing and Initial Setup 📦
- Check everything is included: Make sure you have all the necessary components, such as the build plate, resin vat, and accessories.
- Place your printer on a level surface: This is essential for getting consistent, reliable prints.
Mr Resin Tip: Before you get started, wipe down the printer with a dry cloth to remove any factory residue.
Step 2: Levelling the Build Plate 🛠️
Levelling the build plate is critical for proper resin adhesion on the first layers.
- Loosen the build plate screws.
- Place a sheet of paper between the build plate and the LCD screen.
- Tighten the screws until you feel slight resistance when pulling the paper.
