7 Maintenance and maintenance 7.1 3D Printing 7.1.1 Clean the glass printing board Remove the consumables residues Maintain the scene If you use a sticky 3D printing consumables, or if the nozzle is too close to the printing platform, some of the consumables may stick to the surface of the printing board. Failure to clean up in time may affect the result of the next print. As the residues continue to stack, the print board will also become more difficult to clean up.
1. Prepare the cleaning tools: wipe the cloth, clean water; 2. Ensure that the machine is powered off and that the power switch is turned off; Dip in the wipe cloth with the appropriate amount of water, wipe away the residual solid glue on the glass printing board; 3. If it is difficult to remove the solid glue, you can click on the Control> Hot bed on the touch screen and heat the hot bed to 50℃ before trying to erase it. It is recommended to wear gloves during operation to avoid hot temperature. 4.
If it is difficult to remove the oil with clean water, you can dip a wipe cloth in an appropriate amount of alcohol before trying to remove it. 7.1.2. Clean the dust proof screen Maintain the scene When the double-spray nozzle module is working or left idle for a long time, part of the dust in the air will attach to the dust-proof net in the air intake duct on both sides. If not cleaned up in time, it may hinder the heat dissipation, and thus affect the working efficiency of the module.
At least once a month. Maintenance method 1. Prepare the cleaning tools: steel wire brush; Start the machine, and then click Control> consumables on the touch screen to heat the nozzle to be cleaned to 200℃; 2. (UI drawing details change later) 3.
4. Scrscraping to the nozzle surface without residue, the cleaning is completed. 7.2 Laser engraving and cutting 7.2.1 Clean the laser lens shield Maintain the scene 10W laser module after a period of time, laser lens protection goggles may accumulate excessive dust or oil, resulting in a significant reduction in laser cutting capacity. At this point, the laser lens shield is cleaned to restore the engraving and cutting capability of the laser module. Maintenance frequency At least once a week.
Cotton swabs are a disposable item. If there is still dust or oil on the protective lens after wiping, please take a new cotton swab and wipe it again. Wipe to the surface of the protective lens without dust, no oil stains, no water stains, that is, to complete the cleaning. 4. We include a spare laser lens shield.
5. Apply the mixed glue to the thread of the nut. Install the nut into the holes of the CNC carving and cutting platform and press for a while. And wait for at least 24 hours to ensure that the mixed glue is cured before use. 6.
