Storing in the Supply Pool Fixture Material Required for Printing
Fill the supply pool with fixture material to a depth that exceeds that of the job to output. For the PB-600, use the job height + 30 mm (1.18 in.) as a guideline. For the PB-400, use 130% of the job height + 15 mm (0.59 in.) as a guideline.
(You can use the software that generated the additive print data or the 3D software that created the 3D data to check the height of the job.)
Procedure
-
Place the inlet of the dust collector close to the supply pool, and then switch on the dust collector.
If the dust collector was left behind during the previous work, this step is unnecessary. Proceed to the next step.IMPORTANT
The dust collector is used to collect most of the fixture material that erroneously becomes airborne during work, preventing this material from spreading throughout the room.
So that the fixture material in the supply pool is not suctioned by the dust collector, pay attention to the position of the inlet and to the suction power.
-
Roughly level the surface of the fixture material, eliminating any major unevenness.
It is recommended to use a squeegee or a similar tool to level the surface by gently stroking it.
-
Use a straight ruler (metal) to measure the fixture material depth in the supply pool.
If fixture material with a depth matching the above guideline is not present in the supply pool, replenish the fixture material and level the surface.
- Raise the table until the leveled fixture material surface approaches the top edge of the supply pool.
