7. Recommendations for proper use and maintenance
Keep the printer clean of debris from materials, especially where the shafts wheels run and
fans.
It can be cleaned with a dry or lightly damp microfiber cloth. When you start cleaning, the
printer’s hot parts must be cold and unplugged from the electrical and USB connections as
well. Plug the printer back on after dry.
The Teflon tube where the extruder filament flows to the hotend must be kept without
folds. If it is removed from the hotend, keep in mind when it is reintroduced that the tube
should go all the way to the bottom (not less than 48mm). This part is very important so to
avoid clogging of the hotend. If the tube is pinched or damaged it must be changed, just as
if the push-fit connectors of both sides are not holding on firmly to the tube.
The cleanliness of the hotend fan must be check frequently since the filament could clog it if
it doesn’t turn as fast as it was established due to dust, debris or obstructions; the hotend
could stop working for lack of cooling. Turn it off when you are cleaning it; you can use
tweezers and small brush. If it’s damaged or it doesn’t turn properly, it must be replaced.
The glass can be clean with dishwashing detergent to remove any debris. In case of
adhesive or material are stuck to it, you can use a glass scraper. Dry it well after that. To
finish it up, you can use a damped microfiber cloth with a little of Isopropyl alcohol to
remove fingerprints or lint that could prevent the proper adhesion of the first layer. In case
the timing belts deteriorate or become loose from using it very frequently, ask the 3D
LimitLess technical support department for replacements.
Keep the vents very clean with a small brush or a regular vacuum cleaner.
The printer should have a yearly maintenance to look for loose screws, bolts or parts. Tight
them up and call the technical support department in case of misalignment or vibrations.
We recommend not leaving any filament in the hotend as well as using a special one for
cleaning and keeping it in perfect condition.
Due to a sealing problem at the tip, melted filament could be coming out between the
hotend trigger and the heating block. Please contact the technical support department.
Usually, the debris clogging the tip or the heating block can be removed by tweezers or
small metal brush while still warm, keeping in mind all the precautions needed not to get
burn.
