9.2. Decommissioning
There are two possible reasons for decom-
missioning the 3D printer:
Temporary decommissioning for a limited pe-
riod of time (e.g. due to a move).
Permanent decommissioning, if the 3D printer
is no longer to be operated.
Temporary decommissioning
If you want to take the choc mate 2 out of
operation for transport or storage, please
note the following:
• Remove the cartridges, nozzle element,
piston, buildplate and the guide.
• Move the print head shaft without the
piston all the way down and tape the
print head door shut.
• Disconnect the power supply and the
network cable and store the cables to-
gether with the printer and all other ac-
cessories in the original packaging.
• Clean the 3D printer thoroughly, especi-
ally the print head.
• Repack the 3D printer in its original pa-
ckaging.
To simplify the process, there is a command
that moves all axes to the appropriate posi-
tion so that it fits back into the original packa-
ging. You can find it under Quick Commands
-> Transport .
Final decommissioning
If the choc mate 2 is no longer to be used, or
if it is damaged beyond repair, take the choc
mate 2 out of service.
3D printer components can contain valua-
ble elements (e.g. rare earths) or be reu-
sable.
The choc mate 2 can be disposed of as a
complete unit. You therefore do not have to
disassemble or dismantle it before disposal.
Only the cable and accessories can be han-
ded over separately from the choc mate 2 to
the electronic waste collection point.
Please observe the relevant national and lo-
cal regulations. If disassembly or dismantling
of the unit is required, please contact the ma-
nufacturer. Disassembly of the choc mate 2
by the user is generally not intended.
Please also observe the notes on disposal on
the next page.
