Anycubic - Normal UV Resin

The Anycubic Standard UV resin should be kept out of dust, moisture, and direct sunlight as UV light will solidify this photosensitive resin. Once opened, the resin should be stored in its original packaging at a temperature of 15-35 ºC. Lower temperatures will cause the resin to become more viscous. The shelf life of the Standard UV resin is up to 18 months with proper storage.

The bottle with the Standard UV resin should be well shaken before use. When handling the resin, the user should always wear protective gloves and goggles in order to avoid direct contact with the skin or eyes. The printing space should also be well ventilated or appropriate breathing equipment should be used. Unused resin remaining in the resin vat should not be poured back into the bottle. If it has been in the resin vat for more than 3 days, it should be well stirred and filtered, and then transferred to airtight containers or sealed with plastic wrap and stored in shade (not for too long, as it can cause a post-printing contamination effect).

The parts 3D printed with the Anycubic UV standard resin require post processing in order to achieve their final properties. The parts should first be cleaned in order to remove any uncured resin from the surface of tha part. This can be done in an ultrasonic bath (3 minutes) or by manual submersion in 95+ % IPA alcohol with the help of the Anycubic Wash and Cure machine. After cleaning the parts, the residual cleaning solution should be removed with the help of a blower or air gun. For bigger or complex parts this process may have to be repeated. Next, once the parts are completely dry, they should be cured for 3-5 minutes in the Anycubic Wash and Cure machine.
