4.1. Core Technologies

The GK3 Pro incorporates advanced technologies for superior printing performance:

• 385nm UV Light Source: Unlike standard 405nm light sources, the 385nm wavelength offers lower penetration and higher printing performance, especially beneficial for precise modeling and transparent resins. It features a Fresnel collimated lens for precise light control.


Figure 4.2: Illustration of the 385nm UV light source and its precise light control mechanism.

• 16K High-Resolution LCD Screen: A 9.6-inch 16K high-transmittance screen (15120*6230 resolution, 14*19µm pixel size) ensures microscopic precision for model details, resulting in smooth surfaces and realistic textures.

Figure 4.3: Details of the 16K high-precision screen, highlighting its resolution and pixel size.
• High-Precision Z-Axis: Equipped with improved guides and ball screws (1204 ball screw and EGH20 heavy-duty linear guide), the Z-axis minimizes vibrations for stable movement, reducing layer lines and enhancing print quality.

2. Clean Build Platform: Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a soft cloth to clean any remaining resin from the build platform.
3. Clean Resin Vat: If changing resin or storing the printer, clean the resin vat. Pour unused resin back into its bottle using a funnel and filter. Clean the vat with IPA and a soft cloth. Inspect the FEP film for damage.
4. Clean Printer Body: Wipe down the printer's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

7.2. Activated Carbon Air Filtration

The GK3 Pro is equipped with a 500cm³ large-size activated carbon filter and a 4500 RPM high-speed purification fan. This internal circulating system effectively filters resin odors, significantly reducing environmental pollution during printing. Replace the activated carbon filter periodically as needed.
