SLA250: Advanced SLA Maintenance
Resin 3D Printing Series

Resin is sticky. And it can be toxic. It's probably not a great thing to get in your mouth, or to spill on the optical glass window of the resin 3D printer.
Learn how to service Formlabs machines and other common SLA 3D printers in SLA202. We'll teach you the basic repair and maintenance requirements of our SLA 3D printers. Proactive and periodic maintenance, cleaning, and calibration is key for keeping your SLA printer spotless and printing like a champ. If you plan to buy an SLA machine of your own, SLA202 is a course you gotta take.
