6.11 CHANGING MATERIAL SYSTEM
IF USING ZCAST POWDER
Before using ZCast powder, a hardware upgrade
(Z406 ZCast Kit, part number 06105) is needed
to prevent damage to your Printer. The three
hardware changes are new snowplows, scraper
blade assembly, and front bearing. A build plate
is also included to help remove parts from the
build envelope. Please ensure that these
hardware changes have been made before
proceeding.
For information on how to design a ZCast mold, read the ZCast Design Guide which can be
found in the Applications section of the User Group Website at www.zcorp-users.com.
To change material systems on your Z406 3D Printer, use the procedure below:
1. Remove all powder from the feed and
build envelopes. Place powder in a
sealed container to prevent
absorption of moistureinto the
powder.
2. To prevent material contamination
vacuum off any remaining powder
from the feed and build plates, and
the top deck.
