Maintenance
Check the quality of the produced parts regularly.
Nozzle and belt will wear down while printing.
We recommend changing the nozzle after constant use. The reasonable frequency highly depends on the used materials abrasiveness.
The nozzle should be changed as soon as you notice the extrusion width exceeds its original size by far.
We have been able to still achieve good results after more than one month of constant printing with iFactory3D brass nozzle and
iFactory3D PETG filaments.
Non-hardened brass nozzles wear faster than hardened nozzles especially when using filaments with high abrasiveness, such as plaster or
reinforced filaments.
The belt usually lasts between 6 - 12 months of constant printing if the whole belt width is used. Try varying the placing of objects in the
slicer to use the whole width of the belt evenly to increase its lifetime.
The belt might be stained after printing with some materials but it can still be printed on these areas.
Change the belt when it’s been heavily roughened and fibers stand out clearly or parts of it have melted.
Check the friction of the linear rails holding the printhead regularly.
For relubricating, check the instructions:

for MGN12 linear rails.
Use supported lubricants only.
Warranty
Perform all maintenance instructions regularly. There is no warranty on parts listed in maintenance section caused by skipping
maintenance schedule or normal wear.
If you perform any software changes unauthorized by iFactory3D, we cannot provide any support for software related issues.
Opening the power supply unit or changing parts of the electronics will also lead to a loss of warranty.
Do not use any software which is not officially tested by iFactory3D.
Do not exchange parts of the machine with different parts that have not been tested before by iFactory3D.
Only use genuine iFactory3D parts for this machine.
Changing the machine by exchanging parts or somehow mechanically machining them will lead to a loss of warranty for all changed parts
and all damages caused by these changes.
