07 Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

1. After printing, flush the microvalve, nozzle and Luer lock adapter to clean them and prevent clogging.

2. Disassemble the printhead (Section 4.2).

3. Mount the Luer lock adapter to a syringe loaded with deionized water or ethanol.

4. Flush the Luer lock adapter to remove residue. Let it air dry.

5. Connect a clean syringe to the provided pneumatic tubing.

6. Pour deionized water or ethanol into a plastic cup. If using water, use a mild temperature.

7. Retract the water/ethanol into the syringe (Figure 25A).

8. Connect the end of the tubing to the microvalve (Figure 25B).

9. Pressurize the syringe by pushing on the plunger and inserting the microvalve into the adapter tool. (Figure 25 CD). Fluid will flush the valve

when the valve opens (Figure 26).
