Unclogging The Extruder; Cleaning The Exterior; Cleaning The Extruder Tip; Cleaning The Touch Screen - Dremel 3D20 Original Instructions Manual

UNCLOGGING THE EXTRUDER

Use the unclogging tool to clean the extruder and
unclog built up filament.
1. Wait for extruder to heat up insert the unclog tool
into the extruder intake (top).
2. Clogged debris will be pushed down and will
extrude from the extruder tip.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Clean the 3D20's exterior with a lint free cloth. Clear
the outer surfaces of any debris that is visible.
To avoid damaging your Dremel 3D20 do not use
water, chemicals or other cleaners on the 3D20.

CLEANING THE EXTRUDER TIP

CAUTION: Use extra care not to damage the extruder
tip when clearing debris. Dremel 3D20 will not work
properly with damaged extruder tip and will require
replacement.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE EXTRUDER
!
TIP DURING DREMEL 3D20
OPERATION OR UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN TO
60°C (140°F). CONTACT WITH THE EXTRUDER TIP
DURING OR AFTER OPERATION BEFORE TIP HAS
COOLED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
Using small needle nose pliers, pull away any plastic
debris from the extruder tip.
If the debris is stubborn, the extruder may need to be
heated to make the debris soft enough to remove.

CLEANING THE TOUCH SCREEN

Wipe the touch screen with the soft, lint-free cloth. Do
not spray cleaners on the touch screen.

BEST PRACTICES

1. ALWAYS USE BUILD TAPE.
2. Ensure your build platform is level before every
object.
3. Ensure spool is installed properly and can rotate
freely.
4. When using your Dremel 3D20 for the first time
or after changing filament, allow Dremel 3D20 to
extrude until material is consistent with the installed
filament color.
5. It is important to watch your Dremel 3D20 begin
building objects. Your object is most likely to
experience difficulty in the beginning. Thankfully,
this is also the most convenient time to cancel
the object, clean the build platform, and start your
object again. Remain near the Dremel 3D20 during
the building process.
6. It is important to save you Dremel 3D20 packaging
as it will make re-boxing and transporting your
Dremel 3D20 easier.
7. Ensure that you store filament spools in an
environment that is not moist or too hot. It is
recommended that you do not remove the filament
spool from its airtight packaging until use.
8. Use object removal tool gently to avoid damaging
the build platform or object.
9. Whenever possible, it is best to locate your object
in the center of the build platform. Using the best
orientation for your object is critical. Ensure that
your object is located on the build platform and that
you are using the best orientation for building.
10. For steep overhangs (Less than 45 degree angle) it
is recommended to build with support.
11. To prevent build tape from peeling during the build,
wrap the build tape underneath the build platform.
12. Always remove the build platform before removing
the object.
13. Use the home feature before unloading and
loading a filament spool. Also, it is recommended
to remove the bui ld platform before unloading or
loading a filament spool.
14. Low speed sanding is recommended to prevent
remelting of the object.
15. The Dremel 3D software will display the weight of
each model. You can determine whether you have
enough filament to complete your object before
building by weighing the filament and spool then
subtracting the weight of the spool.
