** The build platform will lower again, and the process will be repeated until the print is completed.

** Due to friction caused by de-laminating every layer, every part should be canted in its orientation. This means the part should be angled to reduce the cross sectional area needing to be shifted to de-laminate each layer. This de-lamination also causes the Form 2 to be the Prototype Lab's slowest 3D printer.

** Once a part is finished on the Form 2, it must be removed off of the build plate, any excess resin must washed off using the Form Wash, the part must be air dried so that any isopropyl alcohol from the Wash has evaporated, the part should be cured in the Form Cure, and supports should be clipped off. Any remaining support marks can be sanded off if so desired.

=== Changing Resin ===
# Remove the build plate, run it through the Form Wash to remove resin, then let air dry before replacing.
# Firmly pull wiper back until it's out of its slot and loose in the resin tank. Leave the wiper in the resin tank, each tank has its own wiper.
# Firmly pull tank back until it pops loose of the printer, put the appropriate lid on the resin tank, and store with wiper in tank. Be sure to wipe up any resin that spills during the removal process.
# Close lid of resin cartridge in back of printer, remove, and store.
# Slot in the new resin cartridge, tank, and wiper of the desired resin.
# Use a scraping tool to dredge bottom of new resin tank for any hardened resin or loose bits of material, remove any found bits.
=== Maintenance ===
* Every few prints the resin tank should be dredged with a scraping tool to search for any hardened resin or loose bits of material, and when resin tanks are switched out. Remove any found bits.
