First use of the printer
6.4. Loading of material
NOTE:
WASP provides a mixture to be fixed with water. The amount of water depends on the kind of
extruder, nozzle and environmental conditions. Normally it is possible to use the following recipe:
porcelaine 95%, water 5%. With the provided machine it is possible to print the majority of the
mixtures.
1. Lay the mixture on a clean surface.
2. Add water (5% water 95% mixture) and mix until total absorption. If the material feels too dry add
some water.
3. Subdivide the mixture in balls to be loaded inside the internal of the aluminum tank.
4. Untighten the handles on the cap of the aluminum tank (fig.1), then remove the base with the 4 bars
(the side without valve)(fig.2).
5. Bring the nylon piston to the bottom to load the material.
6. Insert and compress the various parts of material (fig.4).
7. Place and tighter the base using the handles (fig.5).
NOTE:
Make sure before putting in pressure that the two caps are perfectly touching and fitting on the tank
in order to avoid air losses and failures. Make sure that the four handles are tighten well. Lubricate
periodically the threaded bars and the internal of the handles.
