注意：
如果树脂槽出现物理损坏（对于大多数应用，预计发生在打印 600-800 小时后）或者达到最长使用寿命（如下表所示），此二者发生其一时就应当更换树脂槽。大批量生产可能会缩短树脂槽的最长使用寿命。可能随时出现其他打印失败情况，但与树脂槽使用寿命无关。

Resin tank lifetime and monitoring (Form 3/Form 3B)
Resin tank lifetime and monitoring (Form 3/Form 3B)
Resin tanks are consumables and require replacement. The lifetime of an individual resin tank depends on a combination of factors:
- Time exposed to resin (i.e., the amount of time that a tank is holding resin, regardless of where the tank is stored)
- Time spent printing
- Resin
- Model geometry
- Temperature
- Physical damage
We recommend that you replace a Form 3/Form 3B resin tank as soon as one of the following occurs:
- Noticeable physical damage (can occur anytime, but expected by 600–800 hours of printing)
- Wear on the film begins to affect print quality
- Repeatedly printing the same model in the same location on a tank can cause the tank film to wear more quickly.
- Punctures, cuts, wrinkles, or gouges in the film
- Wear on the film begins to affect print quality
- Your tank reaches its maximum lifetime (shown in the table below)
- Some resin formulations degrade components of the resin tank over time. This will eventually cause the tank to leak resin. To prevent this from happening, replace your resin tank once you reach the maximum lifetime shown below even if your resin tank is otherwise physically undamaged. Your Form 3/Form 3B warns you when your tank is nearing this recommended lifetime.

树脂槽使用寿命监视
Form 3/Form 3B printers have software features to monitor how close a resin tank is to the end of its maximum lifetime. When a resin tank reaches certain levels of remaining lifetime, the printer will display a warning message when starting a print.
| 颜色 | 剩余使用寿命 | 打印机行为 |
|---|---|---|
| 绿色 | 100%-25% | 打印机将不显示任何警告 |
| 黄色 | 25% | 打印机在您开始打印时将显示一条警告： Tank is nearing the end of its recommended lifetime and could begin leaking in the next few prints.（树脂槽即将达到建议的使用寿命，在随后的打印中可能发生树脂泄漏。） |
| 红色 | 0% | 打印机在您开始打印时将显示一条警告： Tank has reached the end of its recommended lifetime and is likely to begin leaking, which will damage your printer. We recommend that you discard this tank immediately.（树脂槽已达到建议的使用寿命，很可能已开始泄漏，一旦泄漏将损坏您的打印机。建议您立即弃用该树脂槽。） |
检查剩余使用寿命
检查树脂槽的剩余使用寿命：
- 点击打印机触摸屏上的打印机图标。将显示打印机的当前状态。
- 点击触摸屏上标有树脂槽类型的部分，转到 Tank Details（树脂槽详细信息）画面。
- Tank Details（树脂槽详细信息）画面将报告树脂槽的剩余使用寿命。
树脂槽使用寿命错误
树脂槽使用寿命的计算基于树脂槽首次使用的时间。在极少数情况下，打印机可能会报告未使用的树脂槽在 1970 年首次使用，并已达到其使用寿命。解决问题：
- 将打印机更新为最新固件版本。Form 3 固件版本 1.18.3 和 Form 3L 固件版本 1.9.9（均于 2022 年 3 月 16 日发布）包含旨在解决此问题的更新。
- 使用受影响的树脂槽进行打印。这样就可以根据实际首次使用情况重设树脂槽使用寿命。
如果树脂槽的使用寿命仍然不正确，请启用 Remote Assistance（远程协助）和 Dashboard Logging（Dashboard 日志记录），为远程故障排查做好准备，然后联系 Formlabs Support 或您的授权经销商。
