Fast Mecha White User Guide

1. Introduction

• Shelf Life: 2 years (Recommended to use within 6 months for best results).
• Storage: UV resin is sensitive to temperature and light; components and pigments may settle over time.
• Mixing: Can be mixed with 10% Tenacious to further increase durability and reduce pigment separation.

2. Pre-Printing Preparation

• Shake Thoroughly: Pigment blending is critical for Mecha. Shake the bottle well before pouring.

• Vat Maintenance: If resin is already in the vat, stir it thoroughly before printing or pouring back into the bottle for shaking.
• Temperature: Ideal range is 20°C – 30°C.
• Note: Higher temperatures cause pigments to separate faster.
• Cold Weather: Can print as low as 15°C if the bottom layer exposure is increased.
• Clean Build Plate: Ensure the plate is pristine. Some users use Acetone to ensure all previous resin/pigment residue is removed.

3. Print Settings & Tolerance

• Exposure Time: Fast - Mecha requires approximately 25% more exposure time than regular Fast resin.

• Tolerance: Expect a normal tolerance of 105 µm (±10 µm); the actual print will be slightly larger than the digital model. Adjust your slicer settings accordingly.
• Printer Compatibility: Designed for MSLA. Works with DLP/Laser SLA only if the vat uses FEP film.

4. Support Recommendations

• Small Prints: Use "Medium" preset supports (e.g., in Chitubox).
  
  
• Large Prints: Use "Heavy" supports for large-scale printers.
• Tip: If using other slicers, copy the detailed parameters from Chitubox’s presets as a reference.

5. Cleaning (Post-Processing)

• Solvent: Use 95% Ethanol (preferred) or IPA. Methanol works if it does not contain acetone.
• Method: Remove excess resin with a brush or use an ultrasonic cleaner. Clean for 2–3 minutes.
• Drying: Use a hairdryer or air blower to dry the part completely.
• Check: If the surface feels sticky after drying, wash and dry again until the stickiness is gone.

6. Post-Curing

• Requirement: Parts reach optimal strength only after post-curing.
  
  
• Conditions: Use 395–405nm UV light for 1–2 minutes.
• Critical: Ensure the part is 100% dry and free of alcohol/liquid resin before curing.
• Note: Unlike some resins, Fast Mecha does not require water-submerged curing.
