Unbox

Place on the Template

• Set the cartridge on the print glass in the template slot indicated by the touchscreen.
• If you are using multiple cartridges, repeat this process, starting with the scan, until all cartridges have been placed.

Print

• When you start the job, the print arm will slowly lower and the build platform will rise out of the opposite side of the cartridge.
• Do not touch the print arm or cartridges during printing operations. The touchscreen will inform you when the print job is finished.

Remove the Cartridges

• When the print job is finished, carefully remove the cartridges from the print template.

Extract the Build Platform

• Hold the build platform by the handle and gently pull it up until it releases from the cartridge. Remove your part, then discard the cartridge.

Post Process

• Consult the IFU and workflow guide for the resin you’re using for the next steps. For best results, post the process with SprintRay products.

All-In-One Midas Cartridge

• Midas is a little different from other 3D printers. There’s no resin to pour, tanks to manage, and no reusable build platform. Everything you need to fabricate strong, aesthetic restorations is contained in the cartridge.

Resin Press

• The end of the cartridge goes under the print arm. During the printing process, it will be slowly pressed down.
• Do not touch or compress the resin press.

Safety Film

• The optical window on the bottom of the cartridge is covered by a thin layer of safety film. Do not remove the safety film until after you have scanned the cartridge.

Build Platform

• When Midas has finished printing, the build platform side of the cartridge will rise.

The Printing Workflow

• The printing workflow for Midas requires no liquid resin and no resin tanks. Simply follow the steps below to reliability produce strong, aesthetic restorations.
• Workflow steps may vary depending on the resin.
• Always consult the IFU and workflow guide for your resin and appliance type.

1. Prepare Print Job
   • Set up a print job using RayWare or build a print job on Midas using Autoprint.
   • Visit rayware.sprintray.com to set up your first print job.
2. Scan the QR Code
   • Before each print job, Midas will instruct you to scan the QR code on the cartridge. This helps ensure the correct resin is always used.
3. Remove the Safety Film
   • Hold the cartridge by the sides and peel off the safety film.
   • Do not touch the optical window beneath.
   • Always remove the safety film before printing.
   • Do not touch the print glass.

Create a Workspace

1. The physical space your printer occupies plays a vital role in its success. Dust, heat, and direct sunlight can drastically impact your system’s success or failure.
2. For best results, set Midas up near your other SprintRay devices for optimal workflow efficiency. Turn the leveling feet on the bottom of the device to fine-tune the position of the printer and ensure that it sits level.

Do

• Level surface
• Clean workspace
• Away from other equipment
• Away from windows and sunlight
• Consistent temperature 70-85 F
• Well ventilated area

Don’t

• Uneven surface
• Dusty, dirty workspace
• Near other lab equipment
• Near windows or in sunlight
• Large temperature swings
• Poor ventilation

Recommended Operating Temperature

• DUST WARNING! Do not place your printer near a mill or other equipment that produces dust.
• The inner components of the printer are highly sensitive, and excessive dust accumulation can impact print quality and accuracy.

Connecting Your SprintRay

• Midas is designed to be used with an active internet connection. Ordering designs, sending print jobs, and automatic handoff between devices require a SprintRay account with an active internet connection.
• Advanced security protocols may prevent Midas from connecting to the internet. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Wireless Connection

Great for most offices

• A wireless connection is recommended for most offices that use normal networking and security protocols.
• Once you start up your Midas, you’ll be prompted to connect to a wireless network by selecting your network name and entering the password.
• A wireless router is required to establish a wireless connection.

Wired Connection

• Great for offices with high security
• A wired connection is recommended if your wireless network uses advanced security protocols or if your Wi-Fi signal is poor. Once you power up Midas, select the LAN option to connect to the internet.
• A network switch or router is required to establish a wired connection.

Network Security May Block Connection

• Firewalls or antivirus software designed to secure your network may prevent your computer from finding the printer and connecting to SprintRay Cloud.
• If you need help getting connected, work with your network administrator and SprintRay support.
