CLEANING THE GLASS PLATE
After a lot of printing, there might be too much excess glue stuck to the glass plate. This can cause an uneven print
surface and it is therefore recommended to clean the glass plate once in a while. When doing this, always make sure
that the Ultimaker 2+ is turned off and build plate has cooled down.
To clean the glass plate:
1. Move the build plate manually to the bottom of the Ultimaker 2+. This way possible damage on the print head or
Z trapezoidal leadscrew is prevented.
2. Open up the build plate clamps at the front side.
3. Slide the glass plate to the front of the build plate until you can take it out of the Ultimaker 2+.
4. Remove any excess glue with some warm water and a cloth. If necessary, you can also use some soap to clean it.
5. Slide the glass plate onto the build plate until it snaps into place at the back of the build plate.
6. Close the build plate clamps at the front side by hand in order to secure it.
The glass plate is positioned on an electrical heating area, so make sure it is completely dry before placing it
back.
To ensure a successful next print, we recommend to re-level the build plate after repositioning repositioned
the glass plate.
