Loss of Extrusion
Occasionally, the printer’s head may experience loss of extrusion. This will be evident by
observing one of the following:
• Seeing the head moving with no material coming out of either liquefier tip
• The height of the model and support materials are not equal
• Sagging structures due to lack of support materials
Diagnose loss of extrusion:
1. Press
Cancel
... and remove any parts from the printer.
2. Insert a new modeling base.
3. From the display panel, press
Maintenance...
4. Press
Machine...
5. Press
Head...
6. Determine if there is an extrusion problem by pressing
Forward
(command will be available
after Head reaches operating temperature). Watch both tips for several seconds, looking for
extrusion (material purge).
7. Press
Stop
to stop the extrusion.
8. If material steadily flowed from the tips, the head is not experiencing loss of extrusion.
9. If material did not extrude from both tips, See “Recovering From Loss of Extrusion” on page 48.
10. Return the printer to the Maintenance state - Press
Done...
then press
Yes
when the printer
displays
Is Material Loaded?
11. Press
Done...
until back at
Idle
.
Note: When the system is ‘cycled’ in this manner, it may take up to 15 minutes
for it to reach its normal operating state.
WARNING: The head area is very hot!! Use gloves when working in this area
of printer!
Note: If it was previously at a cool temperature, the tip may not immediately
extrude material. After the tip reaches operating temperature you may need to
wait up to 30 seconds before extrusion will begin.
