Date of expiry of the printer cartridge

[User0815]

Hello,

we have a 3D-Printer FORM 2, SN: DazzlingSquab

There we have the printer cartridge “TOUGH FLTOTL05“.

Can you please tell me where I can find the date of expiry of the printer cartridge and what I have to do there?

Thank you very much,

Sticker near the bite valve shows the day of production. Add 1 year to that.

Rigid and Flexible old resin

Hello, I have just took out from the the closet the rigid and flexible resins and tanks. They have not been used for almost a year (if no more). There was a separation of the materials to layers in the tank. The flexible (that is gray) turn into very dark chocolate color at the top layer and the bottom was completely white. It was extremely hard to remove the white layer from the silicon of the tank, took me about 30 mints to scrap it all from the silicon and put it in a different container. I…

Keep in mind that if you are not using it for long term, you need to agitate both the cartridge and tank.
Mine just got separated to layers so it was completely unusable.

If it did not seperated to layers or became viscous then just keep use it.

I used resin couple days ago from 2017 maybe april or may, it was fine with brand new resin tank, I also mixed V2 and V4 nothing happened… Although this resin (WHITE V2) is little yellowish and V4 have better layers than V2 I can see layers on 50 microns. Just shake it good.
