Preparing the workspace

Overview: Prepare the Form Cure L V2 and workspace for replacing the machine’s feet.

Step 1: Prepare the workspace

Clear a workspace around your machine. Ensure that the workspace is well-ventilated and free of dust.

Step 2: Unplug the machine

Turn off the machine using the power switch on the back of the unit. Disconnect the power cable before continuing with maintenance. If the machine was recently in use, the post-cure chamber will be warm. Wait at least 10 minutes for the chamber to cool.

Step 3: Remove the glass turntable

Open the curing chamber door. Gently lift the glass turntable off of the turntable coupler and set it aside. Close the chamber door.

Replacing a Form Cure L V2 foot

Overview: Remove the foot or feet to be replaced. Install the new rubber feet.

Step 1: Rotate the machine

Carefully rotate the Form Cure L V2 so you can access the bottom of the machine.

Step 2: Remove the feet to be replaced

Each of the machine’s four rubber feet is secured to the bottom shell with three screws. For each of the feet you plan to replace, use a 2.5 mm hex driver to remove the three screws. Set the screws and the feet aside for disposal.
