3. Kulumikiza Mphamvu: Connect the power adapter to the printer and then to a suitable power outlet. Do not power on yet.
4. Ikani Build Plate: Secure the build plate onto the Z-axis arm. Ensure it is firmly attached.
5. Install Resin Vat: Place the resin vat onto the LCD screen platform. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.
6. Z-Axis Calibration (Leveling):
   • Masulani zomangira pa mbale yomangira.
   • Place a sheet of A4 paper (or the calibration card provided) on the LCD screen.
   • Lower the build plate until it firmly presses against the paper.
   • Tighten the build plate screws while maintaining pressure.
   • Raise the build plate slightly and remove the paper.
   • Confirm the Z-axis home position through the printer's touchscreen menu.
7. Resin Loading: Once leveled, carefully pour the desired resin into the resin vat, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum fill line.

6. Malangizo Ogwiritsira Ntchito

To begin printing, follow these general steps:

1. Prepare 3D Model: Use a compatible slicing software (e.g., Chitubox, Lychee Slicer) to prepare your 3D model. This involves adding supports, orienting the model, and setting print parameters (layer height, exposure time, lift speed, etc.) according to your resin and desired print quality.
2. Slice Model: Slice the prepared model into layers and save it as a `.ctb` or compatible file format onto the provided USB drive.
3. Ikani USB Drive: Insert the USB drive into the printer's USB port.
4. Select and Start Print: On the printer's touchscreen, navigate to the "Print" menu, select your file, and confirm to start the printing process.
5. Monitor Print: Observe the first few layers to ensure proper adhesion to the build plate. The printer will automatically proceed with the print.
6. Pambuyo pokonza: Once printing is complete, carefully remove the build plate. Use the metal scraper to detach the print from the build plate. Place the build plate on the drip hanger to allow excess resin to drip back into the vat.
7. Wash and Cure: Wash the uncured print in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a dedicated resin cleaner to remove excess liquid resin. After washing, cure the print under UV light (e.g., in a UV curing station) to fully harden it.

7. Kusamalira

Regular maintenance ensures consistent print quality and extends the life of your printer:

• Clean Build Plate: After each print, clean the build plate with IPA and a soft cloth.
• Clean Resin Vat: If changing resin colors or if there are cured resin bits in the vat, carefully empty the resin into a separate container (filter if necessary) and clean the vat with IPA and a soft cloth. Inspect the FEP film for damage.
• Inspect FEP Film: Regularly check the FEP film at the bottom of the resin vat for scratches, dents, or cloudiness. Replace it if damaged to prevent print failures and protect the LCD screen.
• Clean LCD Screen: If resin spills onto the LCD screen, immediately clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth and IPA. Avoid using sharp objects or abrasive materials.
• Lubricate Z-Axis: Periodically apply a small amount of lithium grease to the Z-axis lead screw to ensure smooth movement.
• Zosintha za Firmware: Check the official phrozen webtsamba la zosintha zilizonse za firmware zomwe zilipo kuti muwongolere magwiridwe antchito ndikuwonjezera zatsopano.
