7.3 Removing the Finished Part
After the build is complete, remove the finished parts from the build box as follows:
1. Leave the part in the bed for approximately 30-60 minutes. Take a moment to look at the computer
screen and determine exactly where parts lie in the build box.
2. Take the printer offline by pressing the
Online
button and lift the top cover.
3. Press the
Feed
DOWN button to lower the feed piston.
4. Remove powder away from the buried parts, and clean powder out of the margins against the walls of
the build box.
5. Without raising the build piston, begin removing powder around the part either by using the vacuum or
post-processing tools. When vacuuming, hold the end of the hose on a 20° to 30° degree angle over
the powder so the hose inlet is 1/4" to 3/8" above the surface of the powder. This generates enough of
a draft to lift loose powder without damaging the parts. For more information about the post-processing
tools, refer to
