So, you have used your shiny new resin 3D printer and now want to produce beautiful models. Well, this tutorial will tell you exactly what to do from filling the tank, starting a print via USB then the removal, cleaning, and final UV light curing to finish your model. Every time you print with a Resin 3D printer like the LD-002H UV 3D Printer you need to go through post-processing to have a sturdy and safe final model. This needs to happen because the model will have a thin layer of uncured resin residue which has to be cleaned off and also because the initial curing done by the 3D printer is not enough to fully cure the resin. Thus models printed from liquid resin must be washed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA), then allowed rest time so the IPA can fully evaporate off the model and then cured using UV light. Whenever you purchase a Creality Resin printer like the LD-002H UV 3D Printer or the LD-002R UV 3D Printer it will come with a USB with printable models already stored inside it such as the omnipresent Eiffel tower model. All resin 3D printers worth their salt will have pre-baked models ready to print so this process is applicable no matter your choice in resin 3D printer. Curing and Washing Stations are the optimal post-processing method for resin-based 3D prints that takes all the hard work out of both of these requirements. They provide both a washing action and a UV light source for curing prints after they've been washed. Properly washing and curing resin 3D prints is crucial and these machines are an inexpensive way to handle the messy reality of resin 3D printing. Once you have one you will never go back. All wash and cure stations will have a very similar workflow so this video is applicable no matter what one you have but it will focus particularly on the UW-01 Creality Washing and Curing Machine.
