4.3 Recommendation: Using external air supply
NOTE: The BIO X internal air supply provides up to 200 kPa of pressure. We recommend using
an external air supply with the Thermoplastic Printhead due to the high viscosity of thermoplastic
materials.
NOTE: Inconsistent prints can indicate internal air reservoir exhaustion. In these cases, an external
air supply is recommended.
NOTE: The maximum pressure that the BIO X can withstand is 700 kPa whether you use an
external pump, building air supply or compressed air tank. Contact support@cellink.com and we
can recommend the best connection for your pressure source. Always place a secondary regulator
between the system and the external air supply to protect the valves from pressure spikes beyond
the recommended limit of 700 kPa.
1. Connect the external air supply to the BIO X through the pneumatic connector on the back of
the device. The connector requires a 4-mm air tube (Figure 6).
