If inserting the PowerVat is not possible without applying pressure, the stretcher
zero position must be readjusted (see section
The vat will only be locked during the printing process which requires no further
action by the user. Before starting the printing process, the PowerVat can be
moved slightly horizontally
Important:
Do not start a print job unless the vat has been inserted correctly.
When inserting the PowerVat, make sure that the locking discs fit into the
recesses of the PowerVat. If the PowerVat rests only on the clamping bolts /
locking discs on one side (so the vat has an inclined position) both the vat
and the printer might be damaged when starting a print job. Always ensure
correct stretcher zero position adjustment (see section
) to ensure proper insertion of the PowerVat.
Important:
The film must be replaced immediately in case of damage (for
example when cracks or undulating bulges occur). Before each print, make
sure that the PowerVat film is in good condition (see the section
). Using a damaged film leads to poor printing
results. The number of print jobs that can be performed with a single film
depends on the material and BuildStyle used, as well as the size of the
printed objects. New films can be obtained from your reseller.
Caution:
Before each print job, ensure that the vat parts are in perfect
condition. Do not use a damaged vat, as otherwise material could leak and
flow into the interior of the PowerVat. If material should enter the SolFlex 3D
printer, remove it immediately to avoid damage. Be sure to contact your
SolFlex service team (
.
Caution:
Do not insert the PowerVat into the printer until the transport
protection has been removed and the 8 countersunk screws on the
underside of the vat have been properly tightened to guarantee a proper
function and tightness of the vat. If the transport protection is not removed
before printing, material could escape from the vat and damage the printer.
