Clean the print head and nozzle
While printing some materials can get stuck to the outside of the nozzle and will degrade. This won’t damage
your printer, but it can generate fumes and can drip off in your print. It is recommended to keep the nozzle clean
in order to achieve the best print results.
Before starting a new print, always check the nozzles. At least once a month, remove the plastic from the outside
of the nozzles by taking the following steps:
During this procedure do not touch the nozzles and be careful while cleaning them as they will
become hot.
