Inserting a Modeling Base
Prior to inserting a modeling base into the tray, remove any
material buildup on and behind the Z Platform and around the lead
screw. Failure to do so could cause the modeling base to be
unlevel or, if the amount of buildup is large enough, the Z Platform
could jam at its upper limit.
Install the modeling base (
See “Insert Modeling Base” on page 21.
-
"Setup"
).
Reusing a modeling base:
The square outlines on the modeling base represent modeling
areas. The base is intended for single-use on each modeling area.
Building on a used modeling area may cause loss of extrusion or
cause a part to curl or break loose from the modeling base.
NOTE
Use CatalystEX (Pack Tab) to position a part on the modeling
base.
Before inserting a used modeling base into the printer, make sure
that all modeling and support materials are removed from the base.
A modeling base may become worn or distorted after several
builds. The printer performs a modeling base levelness check at
the start of every part build; upon detection of a faulty modeling
base, the printer pauses and allows you to install a new one.
Powering On Dimension
Refer to
“Powering On Dimension” on page 20
for instructions.
CAUTION
Failure to completely remove all other
layers from a previous build can cause a
head collision and result in system
damage.
