Abstract

The invention is generally a system for drying, recycling, and washing off residual resin from three-dimensionally (3D) printed objects. Exemplary systems may include a wash reservoir, a fan module, and one or more air exchange vents. The wash reservoir contains a wash solvent and a propeller fully or partially submerged into the wash solvent. The propeller splashes the wash solvent upwards to disperse on the 3D printed object, thereby largely washing away the resin residue present in the 3D printer object. The fan module is connected to the wash reservoir to create a positive or negative air pressure inside the wash reservoir, thereby redirecting the airflow to the wash reservoir. The air exchange vents are provided between a splash guard and a platform/lid of the wash reservoir to act as an air intake when the fan module blows air out of the wash reservoir and as an exhaust vice versa.
