What you need
In addition to the contents of the package, you must have several other items in order to use your printer effectively and make a complete print. This section outlines the items that you must acquire in addition to the items shipped with the printer.

• Computer – You must have a computer that meets the following minimum requirements in order to run the Alpha 3D soft-ware which is necessary for creating the print file.

Table 1: Computer specifications 

• Resin – Your printer is tested with all Ackuretta CURO- resins, but is designed to have an open materials system so you can use any 385-405 nm resin.
• Safety equipment – You should always wear chemical-resistant gloves when handling photopolymer resins. Ackuretta also strongly recommends wearing a respirator or face mask when handling resins, and wearing UV-protective glasses when working with the internal components of the printer. Wear cut-resistant gloves when removing prints from a build platform, just in case your knife slips.
• Washer – A bath to remove the bulk of the residue may be covering the piece immediately when the print process is complete.
• Cleaning alcohol – Most resins require either isopropyl alcohol (99% solution) or ethyl alcohol (95% solution) for cleaning. Please contact your resin distributor or refer to the related documentation for information about the proper cleaning alcohol to use. You can also add the cleaning alcohol to a washer or bath.
• Spray bottle for cleaning alcohol – Use the spray bottle to clean the part, your equipment, or workspace.
• Alcohol wipes (Isopropyl alcohol 75%) – Another method for cleaning your prints and workspace.
• Air blower or compressed air – Use the compressed air to remove alcohol and to clean the part, your equipment, or work-space.
• Rubber or silicone spatula – Use this to move or mix the resin in the vat.
• Scraper or knife – A sharp blade is useful for removing the part from the build platform. Dull scrapers can damage the build platform.
• UV box – Ackuretta resins are all tested with the Ackuretta UV oven. Other resin suppliers usually recommend different UV boxes for curing.
• Rubber mallet – A mallet is useful for removing the part from the build platform.
• Microfiber cloth – Cleaning the LCD print screen
• Polishing kit – Polishing the surface of your print to produce the desired finish.

Make sure you have a safe and legal place and method for removing unused resin.
