3Dresyns® first-print checklist
This page provides a short and practical checklist for users preparing their first print with 3Dresyns® resins.
Purpose: reduce avoidable workflow errors before printing, washing and post-curing.
Important: many failed prints are caused by small workflow issues rather than by the material itself. Use this checklist before assuming the resin is the problem.
Use this page together with the main onboarding route
This checklist is a practical companion to the Start Here page, the Fast IFU and the CHITUBOX & Lychee parameter guide.
1) Before printing
Basic setup checks
Before the first print, confirm that the basic conditions are correct. This is the fastest way to reduce unnecessary first-print failures.
Check block 1
Resin and documentation
- Correct resin selected for the intended application.
- Relevant IFU or Fast IFU reviewed.
- Correct printer technology confirmed for the selected material.
Check block 2
Material condition
- Resin mixed or homogenised correctly.
- Resin condition visually checked before printing.
- Temperature acceptable for stable printing.
Check block 3
Printer and slicing setup
- Vat clean and ready.
- Build platform correctly prepared and installed.
- Layer height selected.
- Starting exposure logic entered.
- Bottom settings reviewed.
- Lift settings kept moderate for the first trial.
2) Before launching the first print
Keep the first trial simple
Check block 4
First-print strategy
- Use a validation geometry first, not a complex final-use part.
- Do not over-edit advanced slicer fields.
- Use 3Dtest1 before larger or more demanding parts.
- Do not change many variables at once.
Quick rule: the first print is a validation step, not a final optimisation step.
3) After washing
Post-wash checks
Check block 5
Before drying and cure
- Part washed using the intended workflow.
- No obvious uncured residue remains.
- Part fully dried before final cure.
- Support removal strategy considered before post-curing if relevant.
4) Before final cure
Final checks before post-curing
Check block 6
Final workflow review
- Part completely dry.
- Correct post-curing route confirmed.
- Geometry supports the intended post-curing workflow.
- Application requirements understood before considering the process validated.
Quick rule
Do not treat a part as validated only because it printed. A correct workflow also includes washing, drying and post-curing.
