Pattern Test
The pattern test is the basic verification of the printer’s ability to produce
quality models, since it demonstrates the condition of the nozzles in the
print heads. Make sure, therefore, that you perform this test weekly, and
whenever you suspect a printing problem.
To perform the pattern test:
1. Make sure that the build tray is empty.
2. In the Eden printer, tape an A ‐ 4 sheet of pink paper to the center of the
build tray.
3. In the Eden computer interface, open the Options menu and select
Pattern Test
, or press
F3
.
The Eden printer prints a series of lines on the test paper.
Figure 7-22:Sample Pattern Test
5. Carefully inspect the test paper to see if there are missing lines.
Too many missing lines, especially if they are in the same area, is an
indication that the quality of printing when producing models will be
poor. If this is the case, see “Improving Print Quality,” below.
Note: Acceptable print quality is subjective, and depends on the type and
scale (size) of the models produced . As a rule, however, more than 15
missing lines in one area of a column is considered unacceptable.
Improving
Print Quality
If you suspect that print quality is poor, perform the pattern test (see
Pattern Test, above). If the results are poor, use the following procedure to
improve print quality.
If the results of the last pattern test are poor:
1. From the Options menu, select
Execute Purge Sequence
, or press
F4
.
2. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes .
The print heads are purged of model and support material, and the
wiper removes excess material from them.
3. Repeat the purge sequence.
4. Perform the pattern test.
