4. Remove excess material found around the head area.
Note:
Material fed to the tip can sometimes jam causing a build-up of
material under the head cover.
A. Clean out as much of the material as possible using needle nose pliers, a probe, or equivalent tool.
B. To facilitate access to areas that may need to be cleaned, move the material idler wheels out of
the way (there is one idler wheel for support material and one for model material
illustrates the
model side):
Note:
Move only one idler wheel assembly at a time. Finish cleaning
around the moved wheel and restore it to its normal position
before moving the other idler wheel. Having both wheels out of
position simultaneously could stretch the spring.
i.
Using a 7/64 T-handled hex driver (from Start-Up Kit) to leverage against the lower idler wheel
shaft, push the idler assembly away from the Material drive gear by pushing against the spring
tension. See
Figure 31
.
Note:
When moving the idler wheel assembly, you can obtain maximum
clearance for cleaning if you also move the Tip Toggle Bar so that
it is extended to the same side of the head assembly as the one
on which you are working. It is not necessary to keep Toggle Bar
in a neutral position.
CAUTION
The end of the
extrusion tip where the material enters is called the Extrusion
Tube. Extrusion Tubes are fragile. Use care when working in this area so as
to avoid damage to the tubes.
