disposal of resin operation is simple and applies to all m series cassette sizes place cassette in cassette mount on lid place resin container (resin bottle or waste container) in front of pour stand raise lid to begin pouring resin lower lid and remove cassette features stand lid the lid hinges at the front enabling the user to smoothly raise and lower the cassette base holes there are 2 holes in the base of the pour stand these can be used to secure the base to the surface it sits on cassette mount the cassette mount holds the cassette in place and ensures alignment with the bottle or waste container below the left bumper is lower than the right this provides space for the user's fingers when holding the cassette handles funnel bracket the funnel bracket supports the funnel and filter when pouring uncured one part resin back into its original container its height is adjustable to accommodate different containers specifications dimensions (w x d x h) lid closed 418 x 610 x 570 mm (16 6 x 24 0 x 22 4 in) lid open 418 x 610 x 845 mm (16 6 x 24 0 x 33 3 in) weight 17 kg compatibility the pour stand is compatible with all m series printers m1, m2, m3 and m3 max the pour stand is not compatible with l1 printers recommended worksurface due to the height of the pour stand and the combined weight of the cassette and resin, customers may find it helpful to place the pour stand on surface that is lower than the usual workbench height of 30 inches (approximately 75 cm) carbon recommends this sturdy, low table operation before you begin be aware of what kind of resin you are working with 1 part resins 1 part resins do not have a pot life and uncured resin may be reused (after filtering) use the pour stand along with a funnel and paint strainer to pour resin back into the original container examples of one part resins 2 part resins 2 part resins have a pot life and must be disposed when their pot life has been reached use the pour stand to pour resin into a waste container examples of two part resins tip the m series pour stand is designed for the operator to stand on the side with the carbon logo the side with the carbon logo doing so makes it simple to place the cassette on the pour stand and gives easy access to the lid the lid and funnel holder funnel holder workflow perform the following steps after printing has finished place the cassette in the cassette mount position the resin container in front of the pour stand place funnel in funnel holder tilt lid up to pour resin use silicone spatula to assist resin drainage lower lid and remove empty cassette clean up the process below shows reclaiming one part resin a two part resin at the end of its pot life would need to be discarded into a hazardous waste container according to local regulations place the cassette in the cassette mount remove the cassette from the printer approach pour stand from the side with the carbon logo lift the cassette and place it on the lid so that it rests securely in the cassette mount notes all cassettes the cassette mount accommodates the user's hand accommodates the user's hand when properly placing the cassette m1 and m2 curved side faces the back of the pour stand curved side faces the back of the pour stand when placed in the cassette mount m3 max pour spout should face the front of the pour stand pour spout should face the front of the pour stand when placed in the cassette mount position the resin container under the funnel holder there are two different containers that can be used resin bottle use the resin bottle if you are recapturing 1 part resin to use later the resin will need to be filtered using a paint strainer waste container if you are disposing of resin (1 part or 2 part), you can pour the resin directly into a hazardous waste container or you can pour into a secondary container and then into hazardous waste place resin container under the funnel holder adjust the container so that it is centered reposition the funnel holder as needed place funnel in funnel holder place the funnel in the funnel holder the tip of the funnel must align with the top of the container the tip of the funnel must align with the top of the container adjust the funnel holder as needed for 1 part resin reuse place a paint strainer in the funnel the paint strainer is critical to filter out solids without filtering, these solids can damage the cassette window tilt lid up to pour resin stand at the carbon logo side of the pour stand pull up lid to begin pouring resin through the funnel into the container m1 and m2 for these smaller cassettes, quickly tilt the lid until it stops this will ensure that resin pours out cleanly without dribbling down the side of the cassette m3 and m3 max for these larger, heavier cassettes, tilt the lid slowly and watch how the resin is pouring out the lid will hold at any angle up to its maximum monitor the resin flow so that it does not pour too quickly and cause the funnel to overflow if the resin flow is too fast, modify the angle of the lid as needed keeping increasing the tilt height to ensure steady flow use silicone spatula to assist resin drainage use a clean, undamaged silicone spatula to wipe excess resin from the cassette and window surface continue wiping until only a small amount of residual resin is left in the cassette use a towel as needed to wipe up drips or spills clean the spatula with towel and ipa as needed never use acetone to clean the silicone spatula acetone damages silicone lower lid and remove empty cassette when the cassette is empty, slowly lower the lid remove the cassette from the pour stand clean up if reusing 1 part resin dispose of paper funnel dispose of paint strainer screw cap back on bottle store bottle per recommended guidelines if disposing of expired resin close hazardous waste container check pour stand and work area for any drips or spills clean as needed with towel and appropriate solvents clean the cassette
