2X Series USER MANUAL Maintenance 5
5 Maintenance 1. Machine Cleaning 1.1 Cleaning Case Maintenance 1 On the LCD, if a message requesting for the cleaning of the cleaning case pops up, detach the cleaning case and clean all the filament residue inside the case. - If in need for further cleaning, on the menu, under settings, select cleaning case. The cleaning case can be detached. 1.2 Printer Interior Cleaning Over time, there will be a build up of filament residue within the printer.
Maintenance 1.5 5 Cleaning the inside of the Nozzle The leftover in the nozzle interferes with filaments transfer. This interference can cause problems with printing and filament loading. The leftover makes the printing filament uneven or clogs the nozzle. Once melted, the filament can have different properties from the original. If the leftover in the nozzle is repeatedly heated / cooled, the properties will be changed. The changed leftover is harder to pull out, and easily stacked in the nozzle.
5 Maintenance 3 Press [Setting] → [Extruder] to enter Extruder mode. 4 After positioning the nozzle in the center, insert the enclosed Tube for Cleaning into the nozzle.
Maintenance 5 5 After reaching the target temperature of the extruder mode and the UI screen appears as below, insert the PLA filament into the tube and let it out through the nozzle. Note - White PLA filament is recommended for nozzle cleaning. It is easy to see that contaminant come out from the nozzle. The properties of the material are slightly different for each filament color. Using non-white PLA filaments can cause filaments to break when pulling out the filaments.
5 Maintenance 7 Inser the tube for cleaning again into the nozzle. Tube for Cleaning 8 After reaching the target temperature of the extruder mode and the UI screen appears as below, insert the nozzle cleaner into the tube so that the inside of the nozzle can come out.
Maintenance 5 9 After removing the nozzle cleaner, pushe the PLA filament into the tube and let it out through the nozzle. 10 Press the home button in the UI to lower the temperature of the nozzle. Slowly push the PLA filament until the nozzle temperature is 180 °C. 11 If the nozzle temperature is between 80 ~ 90 ° C, remove the tube and pull out the PLA filament. (If the PLA filament is disconnected inside, retry extruder mode and repeat the each procedure from step 5 .
5 Maintenance 12 Repeat from step 3 until the filaments are free of contaminants as shown below. If cleaned filament comes out with no contaminants as shown in the figure on the left below, the nozzle cleaning is complete. Cleaned Filament Contaminated Filament USING NOZZLE CLEAN TOOL If the filament does not come out of the nozzle well in step 5 , proceed as follows. Once you have completed the steps below, proceed to step 5 again. A.
5 Maintenance 2 Slowly turn left and right while pushing the nozzle cleaner inside the nozzle so that the inside of the nozzle can come out. Caution - When you pull out the filament, if you can not pull it out well, please heat the nozzle after removing it. B. Using Nozzle Spring Pin If the filament does not come out of the nozzle even though the nozzle cleaner is used, use the nozzle spring pin to drill the nozzle inlet.
5 Maintenance When the temperature of the nozzle is raised and the UI as shown below is displayed, insert the nozzle spring pin at the nozzle inlet side and turn it to the left and right to drill it. Caution - Be careful. It may cause burns. - The tip of the nozzle may be hot. Please wear it with heat-resistant gloves. 1.6 NOZZLE TIP CLEANING 1 Press [Setting]-[Extruder] to enter the Extruder mode.
Maintenance 5 2 After reaching the target temperature in the Extruder mode, the UI screen appears as shown below. Please move the nozzles to the center. 3 Wipe the tip of the nozzle with cotton or leather cloth in the direction shown below. Caution - To prevent burns, wipe the nozzle tip by folding the cloth several times. - Be careful not to damage the silicone adhesive between the nozzle and the silicon cap.
5 Maintenance 2. Error Message and Solutions Message Description What To Do Booting Message means on the first boot Once the boot up process is over and Please wait until booting user must wait until the booting is machine is ready, this message is complete. finished. disappears automatically. EC 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, There is a problem with the nozzle If the problem persists after rebooting the 306, 308, 351, 353, 355 temperature sensor or heater printer, request for A/S.
Maintenance Message Description 5 What To Do Cartridge is already Filament is unloaded already and unloaded. the unload button was pushed Notification 436, 442 again. Notification 431 The printer does not recognize the Check if the cartridge has a smart chip, and cartridge's smart chip. re-install it. The printer recognizes the filament Press the [OK] button to unload it, and then but not the cartridge. re-install it. Message will appear if there are Replace Cartridge.
5 Maintenance 3. Problems and Solutions 3.1 If filament does not come out of the nozzle Follow the on-screen instructions and start the auto recovery process. After the recovery process if problem persists follow the below steps. 1 Initiate cartridge unlock. Remove the cartridge from the printer. Use the extruder jog mode to remove the filament. Cut the removed filament, (Use below image as reference) re-install the cartridge and run LOAD.
Maintenance 3.2 5 In Cases where Filament is Cut Between the Extruder and Nozzle 1 Remove the Snap-Ring on the fitting in the nozzle and pull out the tube. Use Extruder mode and move the filament towards the nozzle to push out the cut filament. After removing all cut pieces of filament, insert the tube into the nozzle and attach the snap ring. * Push the tube in until the tube under the black indicator cannot be seen.
5 Maintenance 3.4 If the bed leveling does not operate normally 1 Make sure the bed is not tilted at an angle. According to the bed installation method (Chapter 4. Printed Output 2 Check) adjust to match the base. 2 Check the filament residue or foreign matter on the metal exposed surface of the bed and remove it. - Clean the area 4 or 5 times with 800 grit sandpaper or so. 3 Check the filament residue or foreign matter on the Nozzle tip and remove with a cleaning tool.
