GDSII files are common for traditional photolithography processes and it is possible to convert them to a 3D model suitable for use with the DeScribe slicer. Three primary applications are of use used in this process:

- The objective lenses must be thoroughly cleaned after each user has finished using the tool. Multiple prints may be conducted during the same user session without the need to clean the objective, assuming the same 2PP resin will be used for each print.
- In most cases, IPA alone is appropriate for lens cleaning.
- Specific lenses have different cleaning requirements, as do different resins and immersion oils.
- If you are unsure of the proper cleaning procedure for your use case, please contact the staff before printing.

Failure to properly maintain the objectives can and will result in significant tool downtime.
Leaving the printer
- Clean the workspace with a wipe and 70% IPA spray to ensure there is no residual resin on the desk or the printer.
- Ensure the sample holders are clean and free of resin and wipe with 70% IPA is any residue is left on them.
- Close NanoWrite. This makes sure that used print commands are set to the default values for the next user.
- Only switch off the laser and other printer components if the printer is not in use for a longer period of time.

Advanced Printing Procedures
GWL Programming
Advanced printing procedures often require modification to the basic files generated by the DeScribe slicer. In addition to offering much greater control over your print, a user can stitch together multiple jobs into a single part with differing print modes, or even objectives. Many of the most useful commands are highlighted in the sections below. A full reference list is available on Nanoguide and in the DeScribe editor under Window → Command Reference.
