box.
Technical Tip
Keep powder containers closed when not in use to keep powder dry. Scoop powder
carefully to minimize airborne powder. Make sure that you carefully vacuum up excess
powder. It only takes a minute, and the tidier the machine is, the less often it will need
maintenance! See
Best Practices for Powder Management
. Carefully read the
Material
Safety Data Sheet
for powder before use.
5.2 Cleaning the Service Station
The Service Station cleans the array of the print heads during printing.
The Service Station MUST be
cleaned before every build.
This will remove any deposits of powder. Make sure Parking Caps are dry
before beginning a build.
1. Select
Unpark
on the
Service
menu in ZPrint, which will move the carriage out of the parking position,
allowing access to the Service Station.
