Setup
1. Raspakivanje i prvi pregled
Carefully remove the printer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any visible damage that may have occurred during transit. Remove all protective films and packaging materials.
Video 1: Unboxing Video of Uniformation GKTWO 3D Resin Printer. This video demonstrates the unboxing process, showing how to safely remove the printer and its components from the packaging.
Figure 2: Removing Protective Film. Ensure all protective films, especially from the LCD screen, are carefully removed before operation.
2. Installing the Carbon Filter
The GKtwo features a built-in odor removal filter. Install the carbon filter into its designated slot at the rear of the printer.

3. Priključak za napajanje
Connect the power cord to the printer and then to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
4. Build Plate and Resin Vat Installation
Install the resin vat onto the LCD screen area. Then, attach the build plate to the Z-axis arm. The GKtwo features a quick-release design for easy installation and removal.
Figure 4: User-friendly Design. This image highlights the vertical flip-up cover, quick-release build plate, and screwless resin vat for convenient operation.
5. Build Plate Leveling
The GKtwo build plate is pre-leveled at the factory. However, it is recommended to verify the leveling before the first print or if print failures occur. Use the provided leveling paper.
- Place the leveling paper on the LCD screen.
- Lower the build plate until it gently presses the paper.
- Ensure the paper can be pulled with slight resistance from all sides. Adjust if necessary using the Z-axis movement controls on the touchscreen.
Uputstvo za upotrebu
1. Uključivanje i korisnički interfejs
Press the power button to turn on the printer. The 5-inch touch screen will display the user interface, allowing access to various functions.
Figure 5: User-Friendly UI. The interface provides real-time temperature monitoring and settings for the heating system, along with other printer information.
2. Heating System Operation
The GKtwo features a built-in PTC ceramic heating technology to maintain optimal resin temperature. You can set the desired temperature (77°F, 86°F, 95°F) via the system settings.

3. Preparing Your Model for Printing
The GKtwo is compatible with popular slicers like Chitubox and UniFormation slicer. For optimal results, use UniFormation's recommended preset profiles.
- Import your 3D model (.STL, .OBJ, etc.) into your chosen slicer software.
- Adjust print settings (layer height, exposure time, lift speed, etc.) according to your resin type and desired print quality.
- Add supports as necessary for complex geometries.
- Slice the model and save the print file (.ctb) to the provided U disk.

4. Početak štampanja
- Insert the U disk into the printer's USB port.
- On the touchscreen, navigate to "U Disk" or "Built-in Storage" to select your print file.
- Ensure the resin vat is filled with resin, not exceeding the MAX fill line (700g).
- Confirm the print settings and press "Start" to begin printing.
Figure 9: Resin Filling. Fill the resin vat carefully, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line to prevent overflow during printing.

Održavanje
1. Cleaning the Resin Vat and Build Plate
After each print, or if changing resin types, clean the resin vat and build plate thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
- Remove the build plate and scrape off any remaining resin. Clean with IPA.
- Carefully pour unused resin back into its bottle using a filter funnel.
- Clean the resin vat and FEP film with IPA. Avoid using sharp objects on the FEP film.
2. Replacing the Carbon Filter
The honeycomb carbon filters in the odor purification system should be replaced every 15 days for optimal air purity, especially with constant printing.
3. LCD Screen Protection
The LCD screen has an upgraded anti-scratch film to protect against accidental resin leakage. Regularly inspect the screen for any damage or cured resin and clean gently.
Figure 10: Screen Protector. The printer comes with a screen protector to safeguard the LCD from resin spills and scratches.
Rješavanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Print not sticking to build plate | Improper leveling, insufficient bottom exposure time, low resin temperature. | Re-level the build plate. Increase bottom exposure time in slicer. Use the built-in heating system to warm resin to optimal temperature (e.g., 77-95°F). |
| Print failures (partial prints, warped layers) | Incorrect exposure settings, insufficient supports, FEP film wear, resin contamination. | Adjust exposure time. Add more supports. Inspect and replace FEP film if damaged. Filter resin for debris. |
| Strong odor during printing | Carbon filter saturation, inadequate ventilation. | Replace the carbon filter. Ensure adequate room ventilation. |
| Štampač se ne uključuje | Loose power connection, power supply issue. | Check all power connections. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
