Cleaning the Build Platform
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to sharp objects!
The knife on the separation unit has a sharp edge that
can cause slight hand injuries through direct contact.
–
The edge should never be touched directly.
Only hold the knife by the knurled nuts and with
the blade away from your body.
NOTE!
Wearing protective gloves protects the skin from contact
with skin damaging materials. During work steps in
which you work with printing materials or cleaning
agents, we always recommend wearing protective
gloves.
The build platform is an essential printing accessory. Incorrect handling
and the failure to provide the prescribed care can have a negative
impact on the print quality of your print jobs. To stop components from
not sticking to the build platform correctly, the platform should always
be clean and free of grease and residues.
Required Accessories
Safety gloves, isopropanol, paper towels, scalpel
Preparation
Proceed as follows to prepare for cleaning the build platform:
1.
Wear protective gloves on your hands.
2.
Spread out several paper towels on the work surface.
3.
Open the upper hood.
4.
Remove the collection basket and place it on a paper towel.
Caution! Watch out for material dripping from the collection
basket. Hold the basket at a slight angle towards the back to
prevent material from leaking out. Also place a paper towel
directly underneath the basket opening.
5.
Open the knife protection device: Grasp the knife protection
device by the retaining tab and pull it towards your torso as far
as it will go. Now lift the device slightly and pull it completely out
of the machine. (Pay close attention to the pins to the left and
right of the knife protection device while doing so). Set it aside.
6.
Remove the knife and then the knife drip guard from the
machine. Set both aside.
7.
Loosen the rotary knob of the build platform and pull the
platform off the guide rail.
Place a paper towel directly under the
platform while doing so.
8.
Place the platform on a paper towel.

Loosen both knurled nuts on the build platform and pull the
build platform splash guard off the platform.
