Removing the print head

• Slide a print head axis (dis)assemble tool on either side

of the left sliding block until it clicks into the axle.

• Pop up the print head shaft until it comes out of the

sliding block at this side.

• Do the same on the right side.
• Repeat the steps 2 and 3 on the front and back, using

the print head axis (dis)assemble tools upside down.

• Turn all sliding blocks away from the print head.
• Move the print head so the shafts move out of the

sliding blocks and lift upwards. Set the print head

aside, you do not need anymore.
