Borosilicate Glass Build Plate
The glass used for the EVO build plate is high-temperature, borosilicate glass. Like filament, the build
plate is a consumable. It will degrade over time.
To prolong the life of the build plate, practice the following:
•
Only apply WolfBite to a cold plate.
•
After a print, be patient and let the surface slowly cool down until the part self-releases.
•
Make sure the nozzle is not pressing the first layer into the glass
—
too close of a first layer will
create a very strong bond that can damage the build plate. See section 7.3 in the event that you
are experiencing issues with the first layer being too close or too far from the build plate.
5.10
Lubricate Z Stage Ballscrew
TRAK recommends lubricating your Z Stage Ballscrew every 1000 hours.
•
White lithium grease is recommended.
•
Any grease used should be rated for more than 80°C continuous.
