Standard Resin Tank: Maintenance and Care

Resin tanks are consumables and require replacement. Expect to replace a standard Resin Tank after 1,000-3,000 layers of printing over an area of the elastic layer or when wear on the elastic layer begins to affect print quality.

Maintain and clean each standard Resin Tank using Formlabs instructions to maximize tank performance and to ensure consistent, high-quality prints over a tank’s lifetime

Standard Resin Tank Care Overview

The standard Resin Tank features an amber polycarbonate frame with a clear acrylic tank window and an elastic layer. The tank contains the liquid resin during prints. Before curing a layer of liquid resin during a print, the laser passes through two optical surfaces on standard Resin Tanks: the clear acrylic tank window located on the underside of the tank, and the elastic layer that lines the tank bottom.

For optimal printing results, avoid using a resin tank if the clear acrylic tank window or the elastic layer is damaged or contaminated. Damage or contamination on these two optical surfaces can cause the laser light to diffuse and can lead to a variety of print failures including the following: partially completed prints, poor base or support formation, non-adherence issues, or surface finish issues.

Standard Resin Tank lifetime

While a combination of factors, such as print volume, model geometry, layer thickness, resin type, and model orientation and layout, determines the individual lifetime of a tank, a well-maintained standard Resin Tank with average use typically preserves print quality up to 1-1.5 liters of resin.
