18. Reconnect Wi-Fi Cable: Plug the Wi-Fi cable back into the motherboard port.
19. Atzeko estalkia berriro instalatu: Align the screw holes and place the printer back cover into the mounting position. Use a 2.0mm Allen wrench to tighten the 6 screws fixed on the back cover of the printer. Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench to tighten the 2 screws fixed under the back cover of the printer.
20. Test Printer: Power on the printer. Operate "Tool-Screen Exposure-Test" on the touch screen. Observe that the exposure screen lights up with a specific pattern, and you can use the printer normally.

7. Arazoak

• Prints not sticking to build plate: Ensure the build plate is properly leveled. Clean the build plate thoroughly with IPA. Increase the bottom exposure time in your slicing software. Check the resin tank's FEP film for damage or cloudiness.
• Print failures (e.g., partial prints, warped prints): Verify resin exposure settings (bottom exposure, normal exposure) are appropriate for your specific resin and ambient temperature. Ensure the resin is well-mixed. Check for debris in the resin tank.
• Software compatibility issues: If experiencing issues with file formats (e.g., .ctb), try using alternative slicing software like Lychee Slicer, which is known to support the required formats. Ensure your slicing software is updated to the latest version.
• Inprimagailua ez da pizten: Check the power cable connection and ensure the power outlet is functional. If the DC port is suspected, refer to the DC Port Replacement section in Maintenance.
