6. In the Resin Replacement Cycle screen (see figure 7 ‐ 12), choose the
appropriate cycle for the model material you want to install. With two
of the options, the print block is flushed with the new model material.
With the third option, the print block is flushed with cleaning fluid
before it is filled with the new model material.
ˆ
Flushing the block with model material:
•
Short Cycle . During this cycle, which takes about 30 minutes, the
pump purges the model material from the print block, then flushes
the system with the new material.
Since traces of the previous material may be present in the first
models printed with the new material, this cycle is usually
acceptable when replacing a light ‐ colored model material with a
darker material (such as TangoBlack™ or VeroBlack™), or if the
color of the printed models is unimportant.
•
Double Short Cycle . During this cycle, which takes about 50 minutes,
the wizard cleans the feed tubes and print block more thoroughly
by flushing the system twice with the new material.
This cycle is used when replacing a dark ‐ colored model material
(such as TangoBlack or VeroBlack) with a lighter material.
ˆ Flushing the block with cleaning fluid:
•
Long Cycle . During this cycle, which takes about 60 minutes, the
wizard cleans the tube and print block very thoroughly by flushing
the system with cleaning fluid before filling the block with the new
material.
This cycle is used when replacing a dark ‐ colored model material
(such as TangoBlack or VeroBlack) with a lighter material. Using
cleaning material is recommended over cleaning the system with
model material, since it is more effective and economical. However,
you must be present during the process to change the cartridges of
cleaning fluid and model material.
