Overview
:
Inside the Z-axis tower is a long-threaded metal rail called the Z-slide. This rail is attached to a motor and moves
inside the printer. The Z-slide needs to be greased annually using white lithium grease. This keeps the Z-slide free of dust and
debris and allows it to operate smoothly.
Step-by-step
:
1. Add a small amount of lithium grease to the tip of a clean Q-Tip.
2. Apply the grease by moving the Q-Tip starting near the top of the screw, moving down slowly.
12.2.11 Checking the Safety Equipment
IMPORTANT
All emergency stopping devices and protection doors must be checked one by one and separately.
In case of defective safety equipment, shut the printer down immediately and secure it against being switched on
again.
12.2.12 Filtering the Material
It is recommended to filter the material after each failed build. Use a paint strainer and run your material
through it. The paper paint strainers are the most suitable, as they can be discarded after each use.
Do not use a paint strainer that requires cleaning, as cleaning solutions can contaminate and ruin material.
12.3
Auxiliary Materials and Consumables
Materials have varying shelf lives (between 6-12 months). You will likely use all of the material before it expires.
Consumables such as material trays and material can be ordered on the Contact Us page of the EnvisionTEC
website. If your printer was purchased through a reseller or distributer, contact them directly for additional
supplies.
