The performance of routine maintenance tasks is essential to getting
satisfactory results from Eden 3 ‐ D printers. Perform the tasks at intervals
shown below for optimum performance.
Routine
Maintenance
Schedule
Cleaning the
Printing Heads
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the orifice plates on the bottom of the
print block ensures that the printing nozzles are not blocked. A wizard
guides you through the procedure, and adjusts components of the Eden
printer to enable you to perform it. This procedure takes about 20 minutes,
and should be done at the beginning of the work day or before a big
printing job.
To clean the printing heads:
1. Prepare—
•
isopropanol (IPA—isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
•
disposable cleaning gloves
•
an Objet ‐ supplied cleaning cloth or equivalent
•
a mirror
2. Start the Clean Heads wizard from the Eden Options menu (see
figure 7 ‐ 23 on page 7 ‐ 18).
