Important: Electronics protection
WARNING: Make sure to protect the electronics against electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always unpack the electronics right before you need them!
Here are some tips to prevent damage to the electronics:
Keep the electronics inside the ESD bag right until you are asked to install them.
Always touch the sides of the board while manipulating with it. Avoid touching the chips, capacitors and other parts of the electronics.
Before you touch the electronics use any conductive (steel) structure nearby to electrostatically discharge yourself.
Be extra cautious in the rooms with carpets, which are a source of electrostatic energy.
Wool clothing and certain synthetic fabrics can easily gather static electricity. It is safer to wear cotton clothing.
WARNING: This device utilizes UV light, which can harm your eyesight or skin. Do not turn the device ON until it is fully reassembled with all the covers installed!!!

According to some pictures in the instructions, it may be more difficult to orient yourself. For these cases, we have added symbols to show the direction of the view in such steps.
For example, the second picture shows that you have to look inside the printer from above.
We have not added the symbol in the pictures where the direction of view is clear.

Note: Do not throw away any screws removed during the disassembly. Some screws will be reused later on.
Make sure that the printer is clean. This means there is no spilled resin or hardened resin, remove dust and any grease.
We do not recommend disposing of any removed electronics (e.g., print display, power supply). If you ever want to downgrade your printer for some reason, you will need these parts.
Some parts on your printer may differ from the pictures in the manual. The SL1 printer has undergone several changes during its time. Mostly it's just a different look. It should have no effect on the procedure.
