How do you clean orange cover with some resin splash? Wet cloth will work? I was thinking baby wipes lol

We recommend avoiding isopropanol or ammonia-containing cleaners (like Windex), since these can create small cracks in the cover. We usually wipe the bulk of the resin off with a cloth, then polish off the residue using a product specifically made for acrylic, like [Novus 1.](https://www.novuspolish.com/)

I strongly recomend not to clean anything inside printer with isopropanol. Even the heating table below resin tank. Isopropanol go up and can damage orange case any way.
