EXTRUDER CLEANING
At the end of one print close the terminal part of the nozzle with
some tape in order to prevent the drying of the material inside the
nozzle.
After about one week of non use, a complete cleaning of the si-
stem will be necessary.
Follow this process:
• remove the LDM extruder from the printer
• unscrew the pneumatic joint “A” with a 19 mm wrench and wash it
under running water
• unscrew the black part “B” from the motor support (with the mo-
tor attached) “C”
• unscrew the nozzle “D” and clean it under running water
• in order to remove the “E” plate unscrew the three M3 screws (not
necessary)
• re-build the extruder followind the process backwards
