how and why of the machine

[iamgeorge]

I am new to the Solus world. And have a few questions like how often should you clean the vat with B9 emerald resin?
how often do you change the film?
what do you use to clean vat ,lens and etc...?
what do you use to strain the B9 resin?
Any literature on the how and why of the machine?
Thanks in advance, George

Most of those questions are already answered on the forum. Just gotta read.

You change the film when it's damaged and starts to affect the prints.
You clean the lenses with a Pec Pad (or microfiber cloth) and alcohol.
Never clean the vat. Just pour the resin out and scrape off the rest using the soft silicone spatula.
You use a metal strainer to strain the resin and get cured chunks out.
