b. The panel then prompts with,
Replace support?
• Press
Yes
. to unload the Support Material.
The panel displays
Replacing support
,
• Press
No
if you do not wish to unload the support material.
c. After you have made the above choices, the panel displays
Unloading
for
approximately 60 to 75 seconds (the selected materials will be unloaded from the
extrusion head).
d. When unloading is complete, the panel will prompt you to remove a cartridge based
upon your choices - i.e.,
Replace Both Cartridges
,
Replace Model (Top) Cartridge
,
or
Replace Support (Bottom) Cartridge
.
2. Remove the material cartridge(s) by first pushing it forward gently, and then pulling it out of the
slot.
• When you remove a cartridge there will be approximately 180 cm (6 feet) of filament
that will need to be pulled from the system. (This is normal. Material is only retracted from
the extrusion head during ‘unloading’.)
3. To store a partially used cartridge, place a small flag of tape on the filament near the
cartridge. Cut off and discard the remaining material. The tape flag ensures the filament does
not retract into the cartridge.
Building a Test Part
Factory test parts have been preloaded into your printer. To familiarize yourself with the system, it
is recommended that you build one of the test parts before attempting to build one of your own
files.
Once the printer has warmed up, material has been loaded, and a modeling base is in place,
you can send a test part to the printer.
Build a test part:
1. Press
Maintenance
.
2. Press
System
.
3. Press
Test Parts
, and select one of the available sample parts.
The printer automatically starts building the part.
4. When the part is finished, follow the steps under “Removing a Completed Part” on page 35 .
CAUTION: Do NOT try to rewind the filament that remains in the system. This
will cause material to cross-wind in the cartridge causing cartridge failure.
