Composer User Manual
After the leaked out plastic is removed, go through the issue identification procedure described below:
1. Check Z axis calibration. Incorrect Z axis calibration may cause plastic leakage on the inlet of the
composite heat block. Go through Z AXIS CALIBRATION(https://support.anisoprint.com/wp-admin/admin-
ajax.php#z-axis-calibration)
procedure, p. 7.5.
2. Check Z offset calibration. Low Z offset value may cause accumulation of composite plastic inside the heat
block and further leakage from the inlet. Go through Z OFFSET
CALIBRATION(https://support.anisoprint.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php#z-offset-calibration-2)
procedure, p. 7.6.
3. Check whether the composite plastic was dried before printing. The presence of moisture in filament will
cause boiling of theliquid during printing, which will result in an uneven supply of composite plastic. Dry
plastics in accordance with the material
specification if required.
NOTICE: lack of composite fiber in the heat block or stop of its feed can cause plastic leak of the
composite heat block inlet. This can happen during the composite plastic loading or its manual feed. The plastic
fills the heat block and goes out through both the nozzle and the inlet simultaneously.
11.6. Fiber is clogged inside the composite extruder
For some reasons (incorrect printing parameters or improper maintenance), composite fiber may stop feeding, i.e
stop coming out of the heat block. It means that composite fiber is clogged inside the extruder. For this case, a
cleaning procedure is described below.
1. Heat composite extruder up to composite plastic printing temperature (or a bit higher). On the main
screen, press the Composite extruder temperature button and set required temperature (see point 1. from
COMPOSITE EXTRUDER CHANNEL CLEANING(https://support.anisoprint.com/wp-admin/admin-
ajax.php#composite-extruder-channel-cleaning)
, p. 8.3).
2. If there are some fibers, sticking out of the heat block, remove them, by pulling down with tweezers.
