Replacing 
Print Heads

The condition of the print heads directly affects the quality of printed
models. You may need to replace a print head if one or more of the
following symptoms occurs:

•

There are noticeable grooves in the surface of printed models.

•

Visual inspection of the head reveals that its surface is damaged—
peeling or bubbles in the nozzle area.

•

The printer interface displays a warning or malfunction message
relating to a print head—

Head Heater temperature timeout

Head Heater thermistor open

Head Heater thermistor short

Testing and 
Calibrating the 
UV Lamps

The effective UV radiation from the lamps used for curing models can
change over time. To ensure optimum curing of models during printing, a
pop up message reminds you to test the lamps and calibrate their effective
UV radiation after every 300 hours of printing. You do this by running the
UV Calibration Wizard with an external UV radiation meter.

The wizard compares the radiation you measure to the recommended
radiation level for each of the lamps, at each printing mode—High Speed,
High Quality and Digital Material.

When calibrating the lamps, the wizard attempts to adjust the radiation
level, if necessary, and then prompts you to take a new reading.

•

If the reading is within the acceptable range, the wizard continues to
the next phase.

•

If further adjustment is necessary, the current phase is repeated.

•

If the UV radiation is too low to be properly adjusted, the wizard
continues to the next phase, but the final wizard screen indicates that
the lamp’s radiation for the printing mode is unacceptable.

Replace print heads only after consulting with an authorized customer-
support engineer.

Before testing and calibrating the UV lamps: 

•

Make sure the glass lens on the UV lamp is clean. For easy access, run 
the Head Cleaning Wizard, and use the special cleaning pad supplied.

•

Make sure that the UV radiation sensor is available to you, and that its 
protective glass is clean.
