Producing Models
The Eden260V printer produces models after they are arranged on a virtual build
tray in the Objet Studio application and sent to the printer from there. For
information about preparing model files for printing, see "Using Objet Studio" in
this user guide or Objet Studio Help.
Preparing the Printer
Before beginning to produce models, it is recommended that you check the
current printing quality of the print heads by performing the Pattern Test.
To prepare the printer for producing models:
1. Make sure that the build tray in the printer is empty and clean. If not, remove
cured material with the scraper, and clean the tray thoroughly with a cleaning
cloth soaked with 90% alcohol (IPA or ethanol).
Caution
Use protective gloves when cleaning the build tray, and be careful of the
sharp edges of the scraper blade.
2. Make sure that there is sufficient Model and Support material loaded, as
indicated on the printer interface (see the figure on page 6-4). You may want
to replace the cartridges of Model and Support material currently loaded in
the printer to avoid the need for replacing them during printing.
Note: When you click
in GrabCAD Print, a warning message appears if
there is not enough of one or more material.
For loading material cartridges and replacing empty ones, see "Loading
Model and Support Cartridges" on the previous page.
For changing the
type
of material currently loaded, see "Changing the Printing
