14 Maintanence
The printer features a comprehensive and intricate motion system, which requires regular maintenance and care to ensure opti-
mal performance.
14.1 Hot-end Maintanence
For cleaning or maintenance purposes, the hot-end can be easily removed from the FELIX Pro L/XL.
Please take the following steps.
1.
Check if there is still filament loaded in the hot-end. If there is no filament loaded, then go to step 4.
If yes, from the display unit or PC interface select the correct extruder and heat it up.
2. Retract the filament from the hot-end.
3. Let it cool down.
4. Turn off the printer.
5. Open the cover in front. (see picture at 14.2)
6. Remove hot-end connector of the corresponding hot-end.
Caution! There is a potential risk of burning, as the nozzle can reach temperatures of up to 275°
14.2 Buildplate maintanence
At times, the printed model may experience warping or become detached from the build plate. In such instances, it is advisable to
clean your build plate and apply a fresh layer of 3D lac. The steps for this procedure are as follows:
1.
Take off the flexplate from the 3D printer’s build plate.
2. Clean the flexplate in the sink using warm water, kitchen detergent, and a kitchen brush. Ensure that all glue residue and lefto-
ver prints are thoroughly removed.
3. Thoroughly dry both the top and bottom of the flexplate to ensure complete removal of any moisture. Failing to adequately dry
the flexplate could lead to unwanted rust forming in certain areas.
4. While the flexplate is still outside the machine, apply a thin layer of 3D lac onto the build plate. Ensure that this layer is very fine,
and it’s important to perform this step outside the machine.
5. Reinsert the flexplate into the machine and allow it to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius. After 5 minutes, you can turn off yourprin-
ter, and it will be ready for its next use.
