NextDent Resin Tray Kit

by NextDent B.V.
£570.00

You will hand-pour resin into the resin tray before printing. The NextDent 5100 Printer works with all NextDent™ print materials, allowing the printer to work for many different dental applications. The NextDent 5100 Printer comes with one resin tray per machine purchased. Purchasing multiple resin trays gives the user the ability to easily print with two different materials on one machine. The more resin trays you have, the more materials you can print with. If the resin tray is sufficiently cleaned in between builds, it is also possible to use a different print material in the same resin tray. However, not every resin can share the same tray, even if the resin tray is cleaned. 

Resin Tray Descriptives:

A Transparent Membrane - This proprietary membrane creates a layer of oxygen in between the membrane and the bottom of the print material. This feature ensures that print material does not cure on the membrane under normal building conditions.
B Tension Slots - The resin-tray tension arm fastens over these slots.
C

Material Fill Levels - These graduated markings represent four different levels to which you can fill the resin tray.
D QR Code/Serial Number - The QR Code has the serial number embedded in its pattern. These give the resin tray a unique identification that can be read by a QR-code scanner.

 

The Resiin Tray Kit includes:

  • Resin Tray
  • Catch Tray
  • Mixing Comb
  • Storage Garage

Resin Tray Guidelines

The membrane contained within each resin tray is the most fragile component of the NextDent 5100 Printer. It must be handled with care. Follow all resin-tray guidelines and procedures to avoid membrane damage and failure.

  

  1. Expected lifetime of the resin tray is around 900 builds.
  2. Do not apply pressure to the membrane. Deformations form easily and permanently, and may lead to membrane failure and degradation of print quality. Never touch the membrane with sharp objects.
  3. Do not touch the membrane with bare skin. Skin oils may cause print-quality degradation.
  4. Always verify that all printed parts and supports have been accounted for after a build. Be sure to inspect the resin tray for partially cured material. Cured material (also called green material) that is clear, or tiny bits of cured material may not be visible to the naked eye. If you suspect that partially cured material might be present in the tray, you must clean the tray before building again.
  5. Do not allow the resin tray to run out of print material during a print, as this will result in build failure. Do not add resin during part building. Resin in the bottle will be a different temperature than resin in the tray during building. This may cause undesirable build quality and/or build failure.
  6. With thorough cleaning of the resin tray in between builds, it is possible to use different resins in the same resin tray (not at the same time). Do not mix two or more types of resin in the resin tray. Doing so will cause both materials to become ineffective.
  7. Avoid transporting a resin tray that is filled with resin so as to avoid spills. Always carry resin tray with both hands to help ensure that it does not drop on the floor. Any damage to the resin tray would mean that the resin tray needs to be replaced.
  8. Do not move the printer while there is a resin tray inside that is filled with resin. Even moving the printer a few inches with resin inside can cause a resin spill.
  9. Uncovered resin trays should not be left outside the NextDent 5100 Printer when containing any amount of print material. Material will cure when exposed to ambient light. Cured material is extremely difficult to remove from the resin-tray membrane without causing damage. If you store a resin tray containing material outside the printer, use the resin-tray garage and store the tray in a cool, dark place.
  10. Resin overflow from the resin tray will be channeled into the catch tray. Discard the resin in the catch tray according to all government regulations.
  11. Never pour resin from the resin tray back into its bottle, nor into any container of common material. Failure to follow this guideline risks contamination, and/or improper mixture, of print material in the bottle.
  12. Always ensure the resin tray is clean of uncured liquid resin and partially cured bits before each print.
  13. Always ensure that the resin tray is not damaged in any way, particularly on the membrane. Tray damage could cause build failure and/or resin leakage. Resin-tray damage can be: membrane puncture, dent, scratch or discoloration.
