7.1 Try This First
Before calling for service, follow these steps:
1.
Clean the machine thoroughly!
This includes all parts of the deck, service station, axis rails, pulley teeth, and pogo pins. Remove any
debris build up at the ends of travel, on the axis rail and even on the axis rail supports.

Finally, you should remove all 5 printheads and clean the pogo pins. If the printhead is old, dirty, or has
reported an error through 3D Print, replace the printhead with a new one.

2.
Perform any needed maintenance.
Check the Printer Status Dialog window in 3DPrint for any maintenance that is due.

3.
Inspect the printer.
Perform a quick inspection of the machine. During the inspection you should be looking for any signs
of leaks, loose screws or loose nuts. Loose screws or nuts should be tightened and leaks should be
reported to your local Service Provider immediately.
4.
Check for motion problems
Turn the machine off and move the carriage and fast axis to the middle of the build bed, then re-boot
the machine. Watch for any obstructions or jumpy movements. If the movements are jumpy in any
axis, clean the rail as described in step 1 above and lubricate that axis.
