			==How to clean and maintain the resin tank and FEP film==
			Cleaning the resin tank and FEP film
			1. Preparation:
			Wear protective gloves and avoid direct contact with the resin.
			Prepare cleaning tools, including a soft scraper, a fine mesh filter, isopropyl alcohol (IPA, concentration above 95%), a soft cloth or paper towel.
			2. Cleaning the resin tank:
			Carefully pour the uncured resin from the resin tank back into the resin bottle and filter it with a fine mesh filter to remove any cured particles or impurities that may exist.
			3. Remove the FEP film (if necessary):
			Depending on the design of the resin tank, use appropriate tools (such as a screwdriver) to remove the screws or clamps that secure the FEP film.
			4. Cleaning the resin tank:
			Pour an appropriate amount of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) into the resin tank and shake it gently to dissolve the remaining resin.
			Use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the tank walls and bottom to ensure that all the resin is removed. Avoid using rough or hard tools to avoid scratching the resin tank.
			5. Cleaning the FEP film:
			Soak the FEP film in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes and shake it gently to dissolve the remaining resin.
			Use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the surface of the film to ensure thorough cleaning.
			6. Drying:
			Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe the isopropyl alcohol on the surface of the resin tank and FEP film. Make sure it is completely dry before the next print.

			Maintaining the resin tank and FEP film
			1. Regular inspection:
			Check the status of the resin tank and FEP film regularly to ensure that there are no scratches, perforations or deformations. If any damage is found, replace it in time.
			2. Avoid direct sunlight:
			Resin is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so avoid exposing the resin tank to direct sunlight to prevent unused resin from curing prematurely.
			3. Storage Note:
			If the printer is not used for a long time, it is recommended to pour out the resin in the resin tank and clean it, and store the resin tank and FEP film in a dry and cool place.
			4. Handle with care:
			When cleaning and handling the resin tank, be as gentle as possible and avoid using sharp tools or excessive force to reduce damage to the film.

			Through regular cleaning and maintenance, the service life of the resin tank and FEP film can be maximized to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the 3D printer.
