Routine Cleaning
This chapter describes the routine cleaning you should complete
after every build
. This will prepare the
printer for the next build and keep the printer running smoothly and problem free. These tasks take only a
few minutes to perform but make a huge difference in how well your printer runs.
3.1 Vacuum Excess Core
After every build, vacuum up all loose Core in the Build Chamber, including the Build Bed, Deck, and Fast
Axis including the Rails and Carriage. To vacuum:
1.
Select
VACUUM
on the LCD panel.
2.
Open the printer top cover and remove the vacuum hose from its stand.
3.
Vacuum any excess Core in the Build Bed, around the Deck, and on top of the Fast Axis. Pull the Fast
Axis forward and check for Core towards the back of the Build Chamber as well.
•
You can leave Core in the Feeder (the area behind the Build Bed where Core is spread to the
Build Bed), but the Core remaining in the Build Bed after a print job should be vacuumed.
4.
The vacuum will stop automatically after a couple of minutes, or you can push the Control Knob once
to shut off the vacuum. When you are finished, return the hose to its holder.
3.2 Clean The Debris Separator
After vacuuming, clean the Debris Separator. The Debris Separator catches any large particles and keeps
those pieces from being recycled into the feeder. To clean the Debris Separator follow the steps below.
Important: The Debris Separator must be cleaned after every build, in order to maintain the efficiency of
the vacuum system.
1.
Pull the Debris Separator out of its holder on the printer.
2.
Empty the contents into a trash receptacle.
3.
Use the soft brush found in the Accessory Kit to brush any caked-on Core from the screen.
4.
Reach into the receptacle area with a stiff brush and remove any Core clinging to the screen.
