Step 1 Preparing the test print

⬢Before you start printing own models, let's print some bundled object to see that the upgraded printer works properly. Follow these instructions:

⬢On the touchscreen navigate to Print -> Local -> examples and select Prusa_SL1S_Calibration_test_1H_50um_Prusa_Orange.sl1s

⬢You will see a preview and information of the print. Swipe the screen to continue.

All these example models are prepared for the Prusa Orange Tough resin. If you have another, adjust the exposure values needed for a specific resin in the Print Settings menu.

Step 2 Printing the test print

⬢Pour the resin into less than half of the tank.

Notice that there are MAX, MIN and half level marks in the tank that will help you measure the optimal volume.

⬢If you used the plastic protective tray to protect the printer during the pouring, don't forget to remove it.

⬢Ready? Click on "Print".

Step 3 Post-processing and checking the print

⬢After the print is finished, remove it from the print platform, wash and cure it. You can do it using the Curing and Washing machine (CW1S).

⬢Once the post-processing is finished, take a closer look at the model and visually inspect its design.

⬢If it's similar to the picture, it means that the print is complete, the model is not damaged, you have successfully upgraded your printer. Congratulations! :)
