Inspect the tip wipe assembly

After each build you should inspect the tip wipe assembly to make sure there is no material build 

up. If there is material build up, clean the tip wipe assembly. Material build up on the tip wipe 

assembly can cause part quality issues. See 

“Tip Wipe Assembly (Brush/Flicker Assembly)” on 

page 39

Remove debris buildup

Remove all material buildup on the Z platform and around the lead screw. Failure to do so could 

cause the base to not be level or the Z platform to jam at its upper limit.

Vacuum build chamber

Vacuum the build chamber to remove all debris and purged material.
