6. Tips and Routine Maintenance
6.1 Precautions for Printing
6.1.2 Use and Maintenance of Flexible Platform
After the printed model has cooled down, remove it from the device along with the flexible platform. Partially bend the platform slightly to separate the model from the platform. Do not excessively bend the platform to prevent it from being deformed and unusable.
6.1.3 Cleaning of Debris Inside the Chassis
Residue of platform filaments can be scraped off with a blade. Be cautious of safety when using.
When the first layer of the model is not adhering well, it is recommended to apply glue stick evenly on the surface of the platform. Residual solid glue left after printing can be cleaned with clean water.
Reminder: When the printing time of the device exceeds 300 hours, or if the printing platform or nozzles have been replaced, the distance between the platform and nozzles may change, potentially causing the first layer of the model to not stick firmly, resulting in printing failure. Please calibrate the platform regularly.
Reminder: Since the printing platform is a quick-wear part, it is recommended to replace the printing platform regularly to ensure that the first layer of the model adheres properly.
6.2 Maintenance Items
| Item | Maintenance Instructions | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Machine cleanup | Clean the debris inside the machine to ensure that its operation is not affected. | Before each print |
| Hot end | Check if the wire output is normal; if not, please check if the extruder is blocked. | After each change of filaments |
| Printing platform | Check the surface of the platform for residual filaments and glue; if present, clean the surface of the platform. | Before each print |
| Motion mechanism | XYZ optic axis lubrication. | Cumulative print time per 500 hours |
| Air filtration | Replace the air filter cartridge. | Cumulative print time per 300 hours |
| Equipment self-test | Optimization of vibration veins. | Cumulative print time per 300 hours |
| Auto Leveling. | ||
| Filament replacement | Replacement of filaments of the same kind: follow the normal Retreat - Feed process. | / |
| Replacement of different filaments: Preheat the nozzle to reach the target temperature of the current filament; then retreat it, replace with the target filament, and preheat the nozzle to the higher filament extrude temperature of the two filaments; feed for 30s until the filament has been completely extruded, and finally set the nozzle temperature to the temperature of the current filament nozzle. |
6.3 Installation of Damping Pads
The Damping Pads can improve the stability of the printer during printing. The specific installation method is as shown in the figure below:
