I’ve been through about 50 prints so far with no failures, and I attribute that to how much I pamper my build plate. The first few layers are the most important for any print, so your build plate needs to be perfect.
When my print is complete, I always do the following:
- Use the scraper to remove all of the extra resin, and clean off the scraper with a paper towel.
- Use the alcohol bottle to coat the build plate lightly with alcohol, and clean with a paper towel
- Repeat the above step a second time
- Put some IPA on a paper towel to remove any resin or IPA from the sides of the build plate.
- Before using the build plate again, I always clean it once more with IPA to remove any dust or dirt. I take extra care to remove all IPA so no IPA ends up in the resin.
Good luck!
