Standard resin tanks and Resin Tanks LT (Form 2)

All Form 2 resin tanks are comprised of a tank frame, a clear acrylic tank window, and an elastic layer on top of the acrylic window inside the tank. For a detailed look at resin tanks and their components, read the support article 3D glossary (Form 2).

Each resin tank includes a wiper, which slides across the bottom of the tank between print layers to mix the resin, clear debris from the optical path, and prevent pigment from settling into the elastic layer.
