5.4 Add Powder To The Feeder
ZPrint evaluates the geometry of the part to determine if there is enough powder in the Feeder to complete
the build. If there is not enough powder, ZPrint displays
ADD POWDER
in the
Printer Status
dialog.
Important:
Do not add powder to the Feeder unless you are prompted to in the ZPrint
Printer Status
dialog.
To add powder, follow the steps below.
1. Before unsealing the powder canister, turn it upside down and shake to loosen the powder inside.
2. Check the expiration date on the canister.
3. Open both top covers and place the powder canister in the Post-Processing Unit.
4. Remove the gray sealing cap from the top of the canister.
5. Insert the vacuum hose into the hose fitting located on top of the canister.
6. Select
VACUUM
on the LCD menu. The vacuum automatically shuts off when the Feeder is full, or the
canister is empty. When the Feeder is full, the LCD displays
FEEDER FULL
.
TIP:
To check that powder is getting into the Feeder, look at the Debris Separator. You will see powder
moving through the window when the vacuum is running.
7. Remove the powder canister and return the vacuum hose to its stand.
