   - __Cleaning is mandatory__ - Printers must be emptied of leftover resin after every use. Build plates must also be cleaned with alcohol after each use. Use a filter funnel to return all unused resin from the resin vat to its original container. Use a **plastic** scraper to genty squeegee resin from the vat film. Isopropyl alcohol should be used to clean the build platform and the resin vat. Proper cleaning procedure is covered during certification training.
   - __**Absolutely no resin or resin-contaminated cleaners should go down the sink**__ - A chemical waste storage bucket is available for safe disposal of alcohol and degraded resins.
-  - __Use only printer-compatible materials__ - Some engineering-grade resins cannot be printed on our machines, since they require heated vats.

   - __Finished prints__ - Finished prints must be removed within 1 hour of completion for post-processing. Members are encouraged to let prints drip for 30 minutes to reduce washing effort and IPA contamination.
-  - __Use resin-specific hand tools__ - Tools used for resin post-processing should not leave the resin printing station, in effort to contain residue. Tools from other areas in the shop may not be borrowed. These tools are marked with yellow bands or labels, and belong in the yellow bin.
